Design, Monkey!
Welcome to Design, Monkey!
Talk therapy for graphic designers, by graphic designers.
We dive into the real experiences of working designers and the impact it has on their mental health. We know that as designers, we are constantly pushing ourselves to meet deadlines, striving for perfection, and trying to stand out in a highly competitive industry. But all of this can come at a cost to our mental wellbeing. In this pod, we’ll talk about the struggles that we as designers face, from feeling like we’re not good enough to dealing with the stress of juggling multiple projects at once.

What are THEY teaching these kids?
In our 11th episode we chat about gaps we've experienced in young designer's skills.

The young designer is not always to blame, education institutions not aiming their program at the actual needs of commercial design is. So we ask, what are THEY teaching these kids?
