Shape your future self

How can we as designers uncover our own unique value and work towards shaping our future self?

The design industry, and many designers, are facing an identity crisis right now. Though we’re all different, designers are often grouped into the same boxes, put on the same career ladders, and expected to follow the same paths.

Jason Mesut, Coach and Strategist at Resonant, has developed a suite of visual tools to help address this. Conceived and iterated over the last 19 years based on his experience leading, managing, hiring, and coaching designers.

These tools help designers understand their unique shape across different layers of self, enabling them to:

• shape the futures they want
• invest in the right development for them
• align with organizations, roles, and people, and focus their energy where it matters most.

Join us for an interactive talk and mini-workshop with Jason, where he will share some of his frameworks, explore some of his learnings, and encourage some self-reflection with the audience.

The recording of the talk will be published soon.
