Learn From twenty experienced designers as we go deep into one question every week.

This week we dig into ‘Imposter Syndrome’

“The struggle is real! I don’t think you can be a designer without imposter syndrome. It comes with the territory of inventing the future because there are no rules. Once you discover that everyone feels like a fraud from time to time, it doesn’t feel so bad” (Cheech)

“Worry less about others’ success, and work harder on showing up and developing your best self

You are a real designer” (Simon Pan)
