#206 Designing a Happier Career in Finance: Unlocking Your Superpowers with Lucia Knight https://open.spotify.com/episode/5tlIj233qNruLyGk2rUbZA Designing a happier, more fulfilling career is a critical concern for finance professionals navigating the challenges of linear career paths and feeling stuck in mid-level roles. In this episode, Lucia Knight, a Midlife Career Design Consultant and Co-Creator of The Fierce Emporium, shares her expertise on how finance leaders can intentionally craft careers that align with their unique strengths and interests, leading to greater job satisfaction and long-term career success. Many finance professionals, despite their impressive qualifications and experience, find themselves dissatisfied with their work, with studies showing that less than 50% of their time is spent on tasks they truly enjoy. This episode explores strategies to help these individuals break free from the constraints of traditional career trajectories and design roles that energize and inspire them. Key topics covered include: Lucia's personal journey from a "career coma" in financial recruitment to retraining as an occupational psychologist and uncovering the secrets of happier work. The importance of identifying and leveraging one's "superpowers" - activities that are deeply satisfying, energizing, and unique to the individual. Strategies for uncovering these superpowers, such as the 4-piece paper exercise to reflect on past work experiences. Aligning superpowers with problems that are genuinely interesting and valuable to others, rather than just moving to a different company or sector. The significance of strategic career planning, avoiding the "shiny object syndrome," and ensuring alignment between personal values and the organization's culture.

In Season 5, episode 7, we dive into designing for the widest audience possible with Sina Bahram, a computer scientist and accessibility consultant who is passionate about inclusive design. He shares his personal experience as a blind individual and his dedication to improving accessibility for all. Sina's work on inclusive design methodology has been honored by many organizations, including being named one of President Obama's Champions of Change in 2012, as well as being named one of the two inaugural Catalyst award recipients by the Themed Entertainment Association in 2022. Inclusive design, according to Sina, is about shifting the responsibility of accessibility from individuals to society as a whole. It's a game-changer that benefits everyone, just like how closed captioning is not only used by deaf people, but by people who have issues processing audio information, those who speak another language, or anyone trying to follow the news in a loud bar. Sina emphasizes the importance of considering inclusive design early in the design process. This allows accessibility solutions to be integrated in a comprehensive, seamless and efficient manner, rather than retrospectively added late in the design process in an audit-based approach. Sina's message is clear: inclusive design is essential, and it's all about embracing diversity, breaking barriers, and creating experiences that bring people together. My hope is that this conversation inspires more designers to consider inclusive access so we can welcome more and more people into the escape room community.   Show Notes, Timestamps, & Transcript Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors:  Morty Morty is a free app for discovering, planning, tracking, and reviewing your escape rooms and other immersive social outings.

In this 1st ever friendpisode, you'll be learning from the personal and professional life of Maegan Blau, a friend to us OTPs. We talk about interior design, accessibility, the ADA, how it all relates to OTPs and so much more. Now based in sunny Arizona, her interior design career started with a personal journey to renovate and adapt her first home to fit accessibility needs while having a high level of style. In 2009 she incurred a C6-C8 spinal cord injury and has been a wheelchair user ever since. She is diagnosed with an incomplete C8 spinal cord injury which has obviously changed the way she lives in the blink of an eye. As a person with a disability, it seemed the majority of options to make homes accessible were straight-up ugly and very hospital-like. It got her thinking…we can do better than this! Combining her perspective of disability with her life-long passion for interior design fueled Maegan to find creative ways to make spaces beautifully accessible.

Cassandra Kane spent almost a decade designing luxury ready-to-wear, leather and fur, outerwear and eveningwear for brands in New York. Throughout these experiences, she worked closely with manufacturers and sample rooms, discovering a passion for creating directly in factories closest to the supply chain. In 2017 she relocated to Florence, Italy to learn the art of Italian handbags and continue developing her craft at the supply source. Through all of these experiences, Cassandra grappled with the realities of waste and exploitation within the fashion industry at every level, even in the luxury handbag industry. This realization inspired her to launch Sieme, (@wearesieme) a brand and platform founded to offset luxury production material waste and support local artisans and independent factories. Through a line of handcrafted luxury accessories created from local deadstock and material waste and exclusive digital sample sales with Italian based artisans, Sieme promotes sustainably made artisan Italian products to a global audience.

Rafal taught himself design and started freelancing around his schoolwork at age 16. When he moved from Poland to the United States at 18, and with zero contacts and no design qualification, he landed a full-time job as a developer.Rafal progressed within the company, designing for some of the biggest websites and blogs out there, all while continuing with freelance work on the side. Until, eventually, he left the job to focus on his business and his personal brand full time.He formed a small agency with friends later, before leaving because his days were filling up with project management tasks rather than design work.These days, Rafal’s running a one-person design studio (with help from assistants and other specialists) and selling digital products and courses. “It’s not for everyone,” he says. “But don’t quit too soon. Give yourself a chance to see what’s really out there.” This episode of the Being Freelance podcast is supported by Gold Stag Accounts.Plain talking, friendly, freelance accountants.

"Many things inspired my works, but nothing inspired me more than the people that live and work in the space that I create. I strive to understand their aspirations, to realize their dreams, for they are the fuel that fires my imagination." - Hendra Hadiprana’s quotation from the book, The Aesthetic Journey of Hadiprana. After working for Budi Lim Architect for 2 years, Afwina Kamal (IG: @afwinakamal) received a scholarship for a Master of Architecture degree at State University of New York at Buffalo, with her final thesis, The Counterpoint in Music and Architecture. She earned the Summa Cumlaude & Chair's Award - Master of Architecture specializing in Design & Theory. Upon completion, Afwina remained stateside and worked as a full-time architect with Macon-Chaintreuil, Jensen & Stark (MCJS), a Rochester-Buffalo architecture firm in NY state. It was during this time she encountered Hadiprana's design influence through a client she was working with. Following her time in MCJS architect, Afwina returned to Indonesia and directly working for Hadiprana Design Consultant, that she has been working for the last 21 years. Her deep love for Indonesian culture and architecture is greatly influenced by the design philosophy from the late Pak Hendra Hadiprana's Unique, Eclectic and Contemporary Design. Listen in, as Afwina shares her mentorship under Pak Hendra Hadiprana and how his legacy continues to live.

For this episode we have invited our colleagues Isabell Britsch and Tarik Johnston to discuss all things Digital Design with us. We will touch on the importance of placing the user at the centre of things and in this context will explain the differences between service design (the overall end to end including the organisational view), user experience design (how user interact at the various touchpoints), user interface design (the design of an interface provided at a specific touchpoint). We chat about the difference between experience design (how things work) and visual design (how things look). And also why both are important in the design of products and services satisfy user needs and business goals. More so, user experience design is a vital factor in requirements analysis and iterative, collaborative solution design. In this context we will specifically argue that all software applications, even the most internal operational system, will benefit from, in fact require, user experience and visual design. As usual, in our episodes on roles we will touch on ‘what makes a good practitioner' in these disciplines, how their day to day work looks like, and how one can get into these roles… Maybe the most important takeaway is that all software teams must adjust their thinking and start including user experience and visual design into their solution design and implementation process. Isabell Britsch is a London based Design Consultant and Art Director and has a 20 year work portfolio with clients across a wide range of industries and projects in digital, print and TV. When she does not design, she teaches Yoga and Meditation. Tarik Johnston is a London based User Experience Designer with a 15 year work portfolio in designing user-centered digital applications in the public and private sector across ecommerce, banking, government, travel and property.

A look back at 2018 and a look ahead to 2019. I want you to take a look back at what you accomplished and at what you failed to achieve in 2018. With that in mind, what are you going to do to make 2019 even better? I don’t know your situation. I don’t know your family dynamics. I don’t know your level of education. I don’t know your current work situation. Maybe you’re a student still learning design. Perhaps you’re a new designer still getting your feet wet. Perhaps you’re a veteran designer like I am. Maybe you work for yourself, or maybe you work for someone else. Whatever your situation, I want you to take some time to look back at 2018 and think about your accomplishments and your perceived failures. I say "perceived failures" because they are only failures if you've given up on them entirely. Like most people, you probably had some goals for yourself and your design business. Perhaps it was to start your own design business or to land that first paying client. Maybe it was a financial goal you set for yourself — a specific dollar figure you wanted to reach in revenue. Did you reach those goals? For those goals you accomplished, where you satisfied with the outcome? Thinking back, are there ways you could have made reaching those goals easier for yourself? If there are goals you didn't reach, what prevented you from reaching them? Have you given up on them or are you working even harder to achieve them in 2019? My 2018 I want to share some of my accomplishments from 2018 with you.

On this week's episode of Momcast we talk to some experts to help keep you organized this summer.  Professional Organizer Christie Lingo, and Design Consultant from California Closets Veronica Hairston, help you keep your life in order during this chaotic time.

What's in a title? Since the inception of the design industry we designers have struggled with what title to give ourselves. I started my career calling myself a Graphic Artist. Later I changed to Graphic Designer and stuck with it until just recently when I took on the title of Design Consultant. Even though the bulk of my work these days is web design I’ve never called myself a Web Designer unless I paired it with Graphic Designer. As in, I'm a Graphic/Web Designer. In my experience, the title Graphic Designer encompasses a broad array of work, possibly including web design. However, the title Web Designer limits you skill wise to only web design. Graphic Designer and Web Designer are but two of the many titles designers call themselves. Some others include; Creative Designer Visual Designer Visual Artist Artistic Designer Communication Designer Multimedia Designer Commercial Artist Commercial Designer As well as some more focused titles such as; Logo Designer Brand Identity Designer Motion Designer Video Designer Package Designer UX or UI Designer Shouldn't your work be more important than your title? I always thought the title you used wasn't as important as your portfolio of design work. After all, isn't that why clients hire you? Then something happened recently, and I realised how people perceive you based on the title you use. For the longest time, whenever I would meet someone new and our conversation would inevitably turn to what we did for a living. I would answer the question saying I’m a Graphic Designer. The most often reply to this is, “what sort of things do you design?” To which I would go into my long-practised routine of telling them that I design everything from logos, business cards, posters, magazine ads to websites and online advertising etc. Most of the time the response I would get would be something along the lines of “That sounds interesting” before whoever I was talking to quickly changed the subject. Sure, on some occasions the person was interested and ask me to elaborate. Sometimes those conversations would lead to a proposal and maybe even a design project. But most of the time the discussion about what I did for a living just stopped there. The effects of calling myself a Design Consultant. A few months ago, I was at a local gathering, and I met someone who asked me that oft-asked question, what do you do for a living? Instead of my standard response of "I'm a Graphic Designer", for some reason, on a whim, I told them I was a Design Consultant. The reaction I received was noticeably different than previous encounters. Instead of asking what type of things I designed, the person asked what a Design Consultant does. I quickly made up an elevator pitch on the spot. I told him I help businesses fine-tune their brand strategy through the proper use of graphic and web design which helps them attract more clients. To find out more about elevator pitches and how mine has evolved since that meeting, listen to episode 116 of Resourceful Designer  After blurting out the random title of Design Consultant and giving an impromptu elevator pitch, the person took me by surprise by asking how much I charge for a design consultation. I wasn't prepared for that question so I blurted out the first thing that popped into my head. $200 for a 1-hour session. The guy handed me a business card and asked when I was available to meet to go over his company's brand strategy. To make a long story short. I set up a meeting to go over his company's brand identity and current marketing material. He’s now hired me to not only refresh his website and print material but to act as a design advisor to ensure he keeps on track with his brand strategy going forward. I genuinely believe I landed this client because of the title I gave him when he asked me what I did for a living. My new title as Design Consultant is not a fluke. Since that day, I've been using the title of Design Consultant, and I've discovered that what transpired with that gentleman is repeatable. Every new client I’ve met with since then has agreed to my fee to meet with them and go over what could work for their business. The best part is, clients are now interested in discussing their entire brand strategies, not just logos, business cards and websites. We examine everything including uniforms, vehicle colours, office decorations and more. Things that are not graphics or web related, but do play a part of their overall brand strategy. For me, this translates into clients with bigger initial budgets. In fact, since implementing my new title, I’ve landed clients with bigger starting budgets than most clients I've worked with in the past. Weeding out undesirable clients. Another benefit of calling myself a design consultant and charging a consultation fee for our initial meeting is it weeds out clients that would otherwise take up my precious time. I’ve had a few people say they can’t afford my consultation fee. If they can’t afford my consultation fee then they certainly can’t afford my design rates. An added benefit for me. Something I had not foreseen is people that want to hire me just for the consultation. I’ve had a few people hire me just to get my advice on what they can do themselves to help their brand. These are people who don't have a budget to hire a professional designer but still want to know the best way to build their brand. It’s a win-win for me. Since changing my title, every person I’ve met with has paid me. Not all of them have become clients, but I was paid for the consultation regardless. Will calling yourself a Design Consultant grow your design business? I would love to say outright that yes, changing your title will grow your design business but that would be naive on my part. I know I have almost 30 years of experience behind me and I have a lot of confidence when talking to people. Both of which help me sell people on hiring me as a design consultant. If you have the experience, knowledge and confidence to be a design consultant then maybe it will work for you as well. If you're not at the point in your career where you can pull this off, you should keep it in mind for the future. Maybe, down the road, you'll be ready to take your design business to the next level by offering your services as a design consultant. What title do you use?

Following the arrival of large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe from 2015 onwards, many non-traditional actors—from tech start-ups to social enterprises—have pioneered innovative solutions to foster the social and economic inclusion of newcomers. In the context of this experimentation, business has played a fundamental role, with companies on both sides of the Atlantic leveraging their potential as employers, donors, and partners in innovative alliances. This two-day conference reflected on how innovative initiatives for refugee inclusion can grow beyond pockets of good practice and inspire large-scale, long-term change. The event brought together a diverse group of public officials, business leaders, service designers, social entrepreneurs, civil society organisations, and refugee initiatives from Europe, the United States, and Canada. This recording includes: Welcoming remarks from: Adam Shub, Chargé d’Affaires, U.S. Mission to the EU Daniel J.

Arianna joins the podcast to discuss the early pivotal moments in her career, share advice for emerging creatives today, and explain the backstory to In/Visible Talks, the conference she’s launching next year in San Francisco.

Starting your own business can be quite the undertaking. You have to learn about SO much in order to get your business off the ground. One of those things that is increasingly taking up entrepreneurs’ time is simply trying to look good. Nice design, tight branding…things that give the appearance that you actually know what you’re doing. Things that show the world that you belong here. The problem is that most entrepreneurs have no idea how to make great design or great branding, so they either spend a lot of money to hire someone to do it for them or they spend time and frustration trial and erroring their way to something decent. Today’s guest, Jenn Murray, is here to put an end to that.

His goal is always providing the highest quality experience for clients and exceeding their expectations throughout the process.   Mr. Tran’s diverse background and practical experience is born from employment with local and regional Fortune 500 Architectural and Engineering firms serving both domestic and global clients that have included projects in Healthcare, Dental, Museum, Education, Retail, Automotive, Corporate, Food Manufacturing, Historical, and Religious.   Mr. Tran is an educated designer who is able to give you the most value for your money. He, along with the entire HJT team, understand and acknowledges that you have a budget, and does everything in his power to stick within said budget while producing amazing results. In addition to exterior design consulting, Mr. Tran along with additional team members are also able to help design the interior of your newly created office building as well, and would be more than willing to sit down with you and discuss your ideas, theories, and aspirations for your business.   An Architect - James A. Jarvis James A. Jarvis AIA brings more than 24 years of experience as a licensed architect and a true love of building to his work with HJT. From Northwest Ohio to Colorado, Mr. Jarvis has served as Vice President, Studio Director, Managing Principle, and Director of Architecture with several firms. His experience with diverse, award-winning projects informs his current role as Managing Principal of HJT Architects.   His boyhood love of building propelled him to pursue a B.S. in Fine Arts and a B.A. in Architecture from Kent State University. He is NCARB certified and registered in Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, Florida, Indiana and Kentucky, with Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Pennsylvania in process.   Unlike most architects, who simply follow notes and ultimately guess at what the design team had in mind, Mr. Jarvis is available through every step of the process. Working closely with both Dr. Huntzinger and Mr. Tran (along with the rest of the HJT team), Mr. Jarvis is able to grasp and then correctly display the overall picture that each client has decided on. Again, collaboration is a huge part of the HJT process, and Mr. Jarvis takes part in full guaranteeing 100% satisfaction each and every time.   A Dentist – William M. Huntzinger, D.D.S. William Huntzinger DDS founded HJT Design Consultants in 2006 while building his second new 12 operatory office. He had one goal and that was to make the process of designing, building or remodeling a dental office as simple and as cost effective as possible. He wanted other dentists to push the easy button. During the last 25 years he has purchased 8 dental practices and moved, built and remodeled 7 different times himself. He has dealt with Benco, Patterson and Henry Schein in every manner you can think of. He has worked with many different designers, architects, builders, engineers,contractors and subcontractors. He has made many mistakes during this time and learned from these mistakes. HJT exists so you do not have to make those mistakes.   He brought the two most talented people in design and architecture together to form our company. We know the dental business and we know the building business. You do not have to reinvent the wheel you can make this a much easier process.   As far as Dr. Huntzinger’s dental practice, it now encompasses a team of 7 doctors including an orthodontist, 3 locations including the two state of the art 12 operatory offices, 40 staff members, a dental lab, full time CPA that consults with HJT.   Doc H, as he likes to be called, still practices full time and consults. He loves the dental business and has spent thousands of hours at courses, watching and listening to audio and video training and reading books and journals about dentistry, business and motivation. Three different practice management groups have evaluated his practice and it is always rated in the top 2 percent in productivity and profit. And if you are wondering if is practice is located in a wealthy are in Ohio, it is not. Swanton, Ohio is a town of 3500 located 10 miles west of Toledo, Ohio. It is mostly made up of average working people, small businesses and farmers. His office takes care of mom, dad, the kids, grandma and grandpa just like every other general dental practice in America. Dr. Huntzinger wants to share what he knows, call HJT and together we can grow your practice and build your building.   www.HJTDesign.com
