The world of product design is changing fast

Faster than you can keep up with. You're trying to break into product design, but you have no idea what to learn first. There are a million courses, YouTube videos, and bootcamps. They all say something else.

Or maybe you've landed a job, but now you're terrified of being "found out." Imposter syndrome within the design community is no joke. You're not sure if your designs are good enough. You don't know how to push back on stakeholders. You're constantly second-guessing yourself. And much more.

You're searching for help on things like "how to run a design review session" at 11pm because you have one tomorrow and you've never done one before.

You feel alone. Like everyone else has it figured out except you.

You don't need another course. You need people around you who've gone through what you're going through.
