About this video

Description

This session is all about acknowledging and determining ways to gain confidence, even when you don't feel confident. Whether you're a new grad, newly laid off, a new studio owner or you're simply in need of a new outlook on the topic of confidence, Diana will help you think about your place in the design industry through a different lens. Spoiler alert: It less about changing yourself and more about changing your perspective.
