Design Life is a podcast about design and side projects for motivated creators. It was born after your hosts, two serial side project addicts, saw a gap in the podcast market for a conversational show about design and the issues young creatives face, that was hosted by two women.
Designer at ConvertKit and YouTuber, Charli is passionate about side projects and helping creatives improve their craft and process.
As has become tradition on the Design Life podcast, we take the first episode of the new year to talk about our goals, our hopes and our intentions for the year ahead. Although there is a lot of uncertainty about what 2021 will hold, it is still possible to think about what you would like to achieve and how you can go about bringing your goals to fruition. In this episode we discuss our goals for side hustle income, new projects, old projects and self care.
In this season, it is always good to take the time to reflect on the year that has passed and review what you have accomplished in your career and side hustles.This year has been a year like no other, which is all the more reason to look back and reflect on what we have learned and what has changed since the year began. In this episode of Design Life we chat about monetizing our side hustles, promotions, learning curves and finding gratitude in difficult times.
From the outside it seems like a quick and easy way to share your work and who you are as a designer, with a lower entry level than customising your own website, but is it too good to be true? We share the results of a recent Twitter poll on what the design community thinks about this new trend, along with our thoughts on whether this is a cool and creative idea or something to avoid if you want to make the right first impression.
