Amongst other things, Lauren Camera-Murray shared some valuable nuggets on how to brand yourself as a content designer. Here are 3 key takeaways: 💡 Building your personal brand is super important today. Leaders in your organization should know who you are. Building relationships with others across your organization is key for making this happen. 💡 Don't overidentify with your specialization as a content designer. Think in broad strokes. Content designers are designers and creators. We're helping build digital experiences. Blurring these lines helps us step into new avenues beyond traditional UI design, such as conversation design. 💡 You're inevitably going to run into gatekeeping as you do your work. One way to tackle that resistance is to tell your stories of successful collaboration to audiences that matter. Once people know about the impact you made on a project as a content designer, their walls might come down.
