​Design Meetup x Ramp NYC: Off The Record

​Join us at Ramp for an evening of candid conversation and career mapping as we bring together five design leaders from across the industry. Whether you’re a student or an early-to-mid career designer, this event is designed to help you navigate the distinct paths of the design world—In-House, Agency, and Independent.

​Through a series of lightning presentations and an open panel, we will move beyond the portfolio to unpack the personal resilience, hard truths, and identity shifts required to sustain a long-term creative career.
