Episode 20 - TALK Sean Duffy

How do we know when a design career is no longer the right path? When the past thrill doesn't feel like the future thrill? In this conversation, I sit down with Sean Duffy, a former member of the Intuitive UX Design Team. Sean left his successful career as a designer at the company after many years, and while doing so, also left the field of design altogether. At least most of it. We unpack what happens when the work still matters, but the role no longer fits. Passion fatigue versus burnout Identity beyond being a designer What skills carry into a new field Why slower thinking still matters This episode is about leaving design without leaving behind what design taught us. I hope it helps you rethink potential change with less fear and more clarity.
