AIGA Real Talk: Still pushing pixels while your peers push initiatives?
Pull up a chair where emerging designers break through the ceiling between “junior” and “leader.” Join AIGA board member Aleksey Fedorov and AIGA Cleveland President Kyra Wells to uncover the invisible skills that transform practitioners into leaders. This isn’t about portfolio polishing—it’s about cultivating the leadership mindset that propels careers forward.
We’ll unpack:
• Transitioning from taking direction to giving it without losing your creative edge
• The invisible leadership skills hiding in your daily design practice
• Ways to advocate for yourself in rooms where decisions happen
No rehearsed presentations—just honest conversation about the messy journey from individual contributor to design leader.
