DesignDash's Women, In Their Own Words reveals raw career truths from 28 designers
A growing collection of interviews is offering women in design a chance to share hard-won career lessons. The Women, In Their Own Words series by DesignDash now features 28 designers from fields like graphic design, UI/UX, branding, and creative direction. Their advice covers everything from resilience to leadership—insights they wish they'd known sooner.
The series brings together voices from across the design world. Participants include graphic designers, motion specialists, product designers, and creative directors. Each shares personal experiences on navigating challenges, building successful firms, and shifting mindsets for growth.
Running a design business often feels isolating, with many lessons learned through trial and error. One recurring theme is the importance of seeking support and making tough decisions to build resilience. A related DesignDash podcast episode explores these ideas in more depth. Behind the project is the DesignDash Editorial Team—a group of seasoned designers, firm owners, and industry writers. Their goal is to pass on practical wisdom, helping others avoid common pitfalls in the field.
The interviews provide direct advice on leadership, mindset, and overcoming setbacks. As of March 2026, the series continues to expand, offering a resource for designers at every career stage. The shared experiences aim to reduce isolation and foster stronger, more resilient creative practices.
