Design is not the centre of everything

Many designers feel their careers hit a ceiling once they've mastered their craft— skills that drive early stage career success. However, there comes a point where "Design" alone won't lead to further career growth if designers don't continue to evolve.

To break through this ceiling, it's crucial to upskill in business thinking and learn to communicate more effectively. This shift allows designers to gain greater influence and make more significant impact.

This month, Design Chats by REA is thrilled to welcome Jacalin Ding, Principal Product Designer at Service NSW. Join this fireside chat to explore why designers need to think beyond their job titles to have a greater impact. By understanding the business as a whole and collaborating more effectively with other disciplines, we can transform how we approach design practice and expand our roles in new, meaningful ways.
