What moving 3,000 miles away taught me about my life and career

During the pandemic, everyone faced their own challenges, and I was no exception. It became clear to me that I needed to make a change. Over the last few years, I moved from California to Alaska, navigating difficulties with my job, family, and friends. Fast forward a bit, and I found myself rebooting my career, starting a family, and eventually moving back to California. The journey was a whirlwind, but it taught me so much, both professionally and personally, that I'd like to share with you during this talk.

Flip the Script on What it Means To Be a Full-Stack Designer
1hr
Many designers aspire to be strong generalists or full-stack designers. They may have this goal because they enjoy all aspects of the design process, they believe it will increase their chance of landing a job, or because they come from an engineering background and want to retain coding skills. All of these are solid reasons. However, some of our closest cross-functional partners are encroaching into the design lane via AI capabilities and collaborative design tools. And who can blame them? But, are you doing all you can to stay relevant, compete, and expand your capabilities for the rapidly evolving landscape? Some of the recommendations here are not new, but worthy of revisiting with a fresh lens.
