  • Summary

  • I have been in the design industry for over 20 years now, I have held probably every possible position you can imagine, from junior Web Designer to Art Director across agencies, and from UX Designer to Head of Design across the tech start-up world, I’ve spoken at over a dozen events ranging from webinars, and companies, to national and global summits. Designerhead was born some years back, and is probably the best description of who I am as a creative, designer, and design leader, as I tried myself in a range of design disciplines and industries, I felt like I have a thing or two to say :)

  • Designers & Startups: Finding the right match
    Jun 25 2024

    This episode is really addressed to both sides of the hiring coin in the tech start-up world.


    If you are a designer with some years of experience working at large tech companies like Google, Meta, Uber, Apple, Microsoft, etc. and you are considering joining an early stage startup? Before you do, you should listen to this episode.


    If you are a startup founder gearing up to hire your first designer, before you go burning through your runway, you should definitely listen to this episode (feel free to skip to the last 10 minutes of the episode).


    Hopefully, by the end of this episode, both Designers looking to join early-stage startups and Founders looking for their first designers will have a much better idea of how to make this work for both sides, and how to make sure both will be happy with the decisions they made.


    If you have questions, need an advise, need a recommendation, feel free to reach out, I can be found mostly on LinkedIn or ADPList.

  • Designers & Companies get out of your bubble!
    May 10 2024

    This episode is honestly for both, designers and companies... in this episode, I dive deep into why designers should get out of the specialist bubble, and consider being more of a generalist or a T-shape designer, how this might help future-proof your career, and companies, well, I share why so many of you just keep losing the game of innovation, missing out on incredible talent and systematically shooting yourself in the foot by simply refusing to change your old ways of hiring people from outside of your bubble.
