Hey everyone! I was published in Smashing Magazine this week with an article titled "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome By Developing Your Own Guiding Principles", and thought that because it's a long article you may like to hear an audio version of it.

Let me know what you think 🙌

Here's the link to the article if you'd like to read it: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/07/overcoming-imposter-syndrome-developing-guiding-principles/

I was recently interviewed in Furquan Ahmad's YouTube channel about design systems and thought it would great to cross-post it to you all as it works just as well as a podcast. 

We discussed:

• What they are in 10 words
• What they aren't!
• How to encourage adoption
• Whether they limit creativity
• Advice for junior designers getting started with them
• Naming convention advice

Hope you enjoy this cross post 👋

After our episode, Charli and I had a great chat about the design industry, becoming a creative director and when we should or shouldn't educate others.

Our podcast is hotting up and coming very soon.

Every episode only asks 5 questions, so what are they?

It's time for a new podcast for creatives.

Rather than talking about case studies, our favourite grid systems, or design systems, let's find out a bit more about our favourite creatives.

I'll be asking just 5 questions, and keeping episodes nice and tight.
