D.Talks: Your Design Career and How to Get Where You Want to Be

D.Talks is an ongoing series of panel discussions presenting practical information about current trends and hot topics in the world of design and business. Our goal is to foster robust dialog and critical thinking, so crowd participation is an integral part of each event.
Most designers focus on producing excellent creative work, yet there is very little support for developing an equally excellent career path in design.
Join AIGA SF as we discuss the special planning needed to develop your personal design career arc. We’ll provide an overview followed by an expert-led discussion specific to each of these key transitions in a designer’s career:
Starting your design career
Transitioning from production to designer
Transitioning from designer to art director
Becoming a Creative Director
Transitioning from print to web
Transitioning from web design to web development
Setting up your own design practice
Going freelance
Networking: 6:30 PM Discussion: 7:00 PM
