Designed to Be Seen

Описание: Your design work means nothing if no one sees it. In a world where visibility equals opportunity, graphic designers aren't just expected to create, they're expected to build an audience, master multiple disciplines, and navigate an increasingly AI-saturated landscape, often with zero guidance on how to actually do it.

Roko Puharić (  / krokograph  ) is a graphic design student who's figured out what many design programs won't teach you: that making your portfolio visible online will bring you more opportunities than your degree alone ever will, that modern designers often need to be videographers, animators, and content strategists all at once, and that fluency in English opens doors that local markets simply can't.

He's lived the reality of trying to carve out space as a young designer in an oversaturated field, where knowing Photoshop isn't enough and sharing your work publicly can open more doors than any traditional application process ever will. Now, as the newest member of the Seen & Heard team, he's contributing his skills to help the podcast reach more people through sharper visuals and smarter content, while bringing a fresh Gen Z perspective to the conversation.

Join hosts Darko Mareš and Edita Bandur this week on Seen & Heard as they sit down with Roko to explore a simple truth: your hard work is designed to be shared and seen.

We'll discuss:

Why your social media presence often matters more than your portfolio site (and what most design schools get wrong about this)
How designers are now expected to wear multiple hats: photographer, video editor, animator, and marketer
The role of AI in design and whether it's a threat, a tool, or both
Why English proficiency matters if you want your design career to scale internationally

This episode is for designers who feel stuck waiting for the "right" opportunity, creatives wondering how to stand out in a crowded field, and anyone who's ever questioned whether their work is good enough to share publicly.
