Fireside Chat: Designing a Career that Reflects You
Join us for a casual fireside chat with Emma Blackwell, where we’ll talk honestly about career clarity, getting unstuck, and designing a path that actually reflects who you are—not just what’s on your resume.
About the Event
You’ll hear about:
- Making the hard decision to pivot careers — without a “perfect” background
- Navigating the uncertainty of unemployment (and the quiet panic no one talks about)
- How to stop chasing job titles and start building a personal roadmap based on your energy, strengths, and values
- Why your case studies — and your story — should be designed like a service, not a report
Whether you're exploring your next move or just want to feel more aligned in your current path, this session is for you.
This event kicks off a 5-week career design sprint (hosted by Amy Reyes) — but you don’t need to be in the sprint to attend the chat!

AI and Vibe Coding are revolutionizing the design-to-build process. Let’s explore the tools that expedite this transformation. Traditionally, design work moved linearly: designers hand off their ideas to developers, who build and return results for validation. That loop is breaking.
