Are we having fun yet? Finding Joy in Your Design Career (remote)

Join us for a provocative workshop using Rodney Echols’ BRIGHT framework—a practical methodology for cultivating joy and preventing burnout in design work. Using his experiences and experiments, he transformed his UX expertise into wellness tools that address the unique challenges creative professionals face, offering actionable techniques that go beyond typical self-care advice.

This interactive session blends design methodology with mental health strategies, featuring Rodney's signature humor and proven techniques for maintaining creative passion. You'll learn to apply UX principles to your own wellbeing through real-world case studies and contribute to discussions about sustainable creativity, walking away with frameworks you can implement immediately.
