Episode #1 with Misook Ji & Dmitry Nekrasovski

Since launching the On Deck Designer Fellowship a few weeks ago, I've realised that the cohort comprises fabulous designers, and I'd love to highlight some of your journeys in design and leadership. The world likely does not need another podcast, but I think it's a great way to get some of these stories out there and dive deeper into the various career paths. In this first episode, I'm talking to Misook & Dmitry where we touch on: How they both ended up in designFirst time management experiencesScary moments as a first-time managerMaking mistakes and learning from themWhat good leadership looks likeThe challenges of being a woman in leadership and taking career breaksThe transition from an individual contributor to a managerThings they'd do differentlyAnd other topicsThis will be a series of episodes where I get to talk to some of the incredible designers joining the Designer Fellowship and their journey in design so far. We'll also record a couple of episodes during the fellowship so you're able to hear first-hand experiences and how the program is helping designers uplevel. I'm your host, Mindaugas Petrutis, the Program Director @ On Deck | Designer Fellowship Twitter | Linkedin | Web
