Design talent, meet your people.
We connect creative studios and brands with the people who shape their work.
The thinkers, makers, and leaders who make great design happen.
Ideas, Trends, and Truths from Inside the Industry.
Flexibility still matters, but the studios winning on talent are the ones who know how to use it with intention.
Junior candidates are walking into interviews with expectations that would've been mid-level two years ago. Studios are pulling back on hiring anyone without experience. The gap is widening, and it's not helping anyone build the career they actually want. So what's really happening here?
If you've ever thought "we need another designer" when what you actually need is someone to handle everything around the design work, this one's for you. Let's talk about the team structure that creates actual space for your designers to do their best work.
If you're a Project Manager, Studio Manager, or Account Director in the creative industry, your CV shouldn't look anything like a designer's portfolio. Here's what hiring managers actually want to see.
Your portfolio is doing one job: getting you into the room for a conversation. It needs to show your best work, tell a clear story about what you can do, and make it easy for someone to see why they should meet you. Here's what actually lands with Creative Directors.
