Episode notes

When I worked in healthcare, we really had a difficult time hiring new designers. And part of it was that the work just wasn't seen as sexy. So you get everybody vying for positions at these large tech companies and nobody doing the hard work of government or education or healthcare. We have a bit of an obligation to consider those kinds of positions as well - especially people in education. They need more people because these are hard problems that are being solved.

Cassie McDaniel inspires us to get away from the ‘pick me’ mindset, and to pick ourselves. She challenges us to be willing to kill our darlings so that something better can emerge. She teaches us the importance of knowing our values, but also embracing the fact that they are going to change. She also encourages us to not just do what we’re good at, but do what we enjoy.
