Design Therapy: Taking Creative Risks

Let's discuss our risk-taking experiences and the importance of taking calculated risks in both our careers and personal endeavors.

This is NOT a lecture or a webinar. Design Therapy is an exclusive space for graphic designers and curious creatives to “keep it real” about our field and discuss the topics that excite and frustrate us.

In this edition of Design Therapy, we're diving into "Taking Creative Risks" — an honest conversation where we'll dive into:

• Defining risk and what it means to us
• Fears and the cost-benefit analysis of taking risks
• Our past and current risk experiences
• Future goals and risk assessment

As we embark on the second half of the year and beyond, let's discuss how risk (or lack of) will impact our next level of learning, success, and growth.

Come ready with your questions and tips! Participants will get the opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions in our guided discussion and should leave with new insights, learnings, and perspectives to add to their creative and mental toolkit. You don't want to miss this one!
