What We Dreamed Up at the Design Community Session

By Hannah Baker


Dear Reader,

Wow, what a whirlwind of inspiration we stirred up at last week's Designers' Collective Dreaming meetup!

Your passion, ideas, and stories have inspired exciting visions for the Guild of Working Designers' future.

Our meetup was not just another gathering but a hands-on exploration of what makes a design community flourish and how we can enhance it.

Through heartfelt conversations, sticky notes, and imaginative collages, we delved into the core of our designer identity.

What We Learned

You showed us that:

  • A supportive network is more than just networking; it's about meaningful connections.
  • True community spirit thrives on empathy, inclusiveness, and mutual growth.
  • Creative collaboration is critical, starting with listening to every voice, no matter how soft.

Below are a few of the collages created during our workshop. These aren't just colorful and creative; they reflect our collective dreams for what a design community can look like in the future.

It's a fantastic resource for catching up on everything and seeing the detailed output of our collaborative efforts.

Staying Connected

While the participants for our follow-up sessions have been chosen, your influence extends beyond this event.

Each insight and idea you shared guides the Guild towards a more dynamic, inclusive community.

Stay tuned for updates on how your visions are taking shape, and look out for our regular newsletters, where we'll share progress, new insights, and, of course, more opportunities to make your mark in future endeavors.

designing in reactive mode

Are you stuck in reactive mode? by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, Some designers spend their whole careers reacting to other people's moves. As a design manager, I remember being in this position. I had to brace myself every Monday morning for some radical change in company direction. We never knew what the new agenda would be, but we knew that it would throw our work into chaos. Sometimes, all it took was for the founder to read a single article to change the company agenda. When a competitor...

Why Your Portfolio Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It) By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, Let’s talk about a harsh truth: Your UX portfolio might be the least important thing in your job search. Yep, I said it. You spent hours making sure it showcases your best work. You structured your case studies just right. You ensured your problem statements, research insights, and solutions flowed together. And yet… hiring managers are ghosting you like a bad Hinge date. Well, the problem isn’t your...

Chasing Competitors Instead of User Needs by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, Have you ever had a CEO who was overly obsessed with beating the competition? I know I have.
