Being Good at Design Isn't Enough with James Hsu
You've done the work. You've solved the problems. You've made the right calls. And somehow, you're still not in the room when decisions get made.
Design skill doesn't equal influence. If no one listens to you, your work doesn't matter.
Join us for a conversation with James Hsu, Product Design Director and Founder of Dark UX Academy about what it actually takes to be heard as a designer.
What we'll explore:
Why talented designers get overlooked (and what to do about it)
The influence gaps that keep you stuck in execution mode
Strategic reframes that shift how stakeholders perceive you
The language you need to stop being "the person who makes it pretty"
This is for you if:
You're tired of being told to "just make it pretty"
You feel like an outsider despite your seniority
Your good work keeps going ignored
You want to be part of the conversation, not just executing someone else's vision
