Design School: Summer Session - Episode 2 | Class Projects vs. Real World Design

Описание: In this episode of Design School: Summer Session, we’re talking about the gap between student work and actual client work - and trust me, it’s a big one.

We'll be covering:
• Why your “perfect” class project might flop in the real world
• The biggest mindset shifts I had to make after school
• How to upgrade student work so it speaks to real clients
• What I actually learned from working on “real” design jobs (spoiler: it’s not in the syllabus)

Whether you’re still in school, just graduated, or never went at all—this one’s for you.

No grades. No gatekeeping. Just real design talk.
