I wrote a handbook to help early-career designers improve their portfolio, their communication and their network through group projects.
I've been hosting local design communities since 2017. In that time, I've seen some of the same issues over and over again, especially regarding Design Education:
I've been hosting local design communities since 2017. In that time, I've seen some of the same issues over and over again, especially regarding Design Education:
- Most bootcamps and academies focus only on individual learning and don't foster networking between peers beyond a transactional point of view ("you complete my survey and I complete yours")
- Designers who are just starting out don't know where to continue their learning journey
- Communities (like the Service Design Club, the one I co-host) can be a great place to know other people with the same interest, but big part of your success there depends on your own initiative
- Starting a new personal project can be a challenge in itself. Doing so with a group of people you barely know it's a completely different thing
This handbook is designed to help you and your team work together seamlessly and navigate the complexities of group work, from organizing and communicating effectively to problem-solving and staying on track.
