Skills


I'm an RGD Member because...

“of the amazing work they are doing to support the design community. They fight to ensure that design standards are upheld and push back against organizations that are attempting to exploit designers' work. I feel good knowing I'm supporting an organization that is also supporting me.”

The best part about the RGD is...

“the sense of community it creates for designers. Often, designers work alone either as freelancers or a sole in-house designer. The RGD offers a way for us to come together, learn from each other and really shine a light on the amazing work the community is doing.”

The best advice I've ever received is...

“rejection is redirection. Often times we can't see it in the moment but there was a reason we didn't get the job or sign the new client. It led us to something else, often better than what we could have imagined.”
