Design Talks w/ MongoDB:
Dealing with Imposter Syndrome as a Designer

Event Details
A decade ago, design was seen as an after-thought. Today, designers hold the coveted seat at the table and now have a stronger voice on what products get shipped to the customer. More and more, designers find themselves into new and unfamiliar areas. Let’s get together to talk about some of the challenges we’re facing as we navigate this new space.
