Take your career to the next level by assessing and clearly communicating your personal design point of view.
In a competitive job marketplace, it is more important than ever to clearly articulate your design point of view and take stock of your goals and what you truly offer the design industry. Move towards clarifying your design voice, the tone with which you speak about your contributions to design, using worksheets and reflective exercises. For all designers looking to push their career to the next level, articulating your personal design point of view will allow you to communicate your differentiators and what you bring to projects – to employers and, ultimately, to your clients.
The workshop is divided into three sections:
- Identifying Your Differentiators
- Articulating Your Design Point of View
- Sending a Unified Message
You will use a series of worksheets to track your progress. Please make sure to download the worksheets before you begin, available under the "Handouts" tab if registered.
Content developed as part of the ASID Ones to Watch Scholars Leadership Development Program, supported by Steelcase, Benjamin Moore, and Wilsonart. Learn more about ASID Ones to Watch.
