Make Your Own Growth Map
Config is a day of INSPIRATION and you know you’ll leave with a notebook full of things to think about.
Make Your Own Growth Map is a night of INTEGRATION aka space for talking through what you learned and figuring out what it all means for you.
This is a guided workshop for designers ready to be in the driver seat of their careers, using insights from Config and beyond.
You'll work through a set of prompts and frameworks built to help you get honest, proactive about what you want growth to look like in your next season and identify the moves worth making in the months ahead.
This is for designers 5+ years in who are eager to grow. Whether you're questioning the climb, wanna double down on it, considering a pivot, building something on the side, or trying to figure out what a creative career even looks like from here, this evening is for you 💓

🧚♀️ Workshop host
Helloo!! I’m your host Tina Yip. I’m the founder of Space to Grow & a coach for creative and strategic people. I also host 5to9, a podcast where I have conversations with people who have made pivots to work on their own terms.
After spending over a decade as a brand strategist at agencies such as R/GA and Big Spaceship, working on brands like Google, Samsung and Mastercard, she realized what I cared most about is people. Bringing people together, maximizing their potential, rethinking their relationship with work, and challenging what’s expected so that they can live their most vibrant lives.
I’ve been featured in Randi Zuckerberg’s book “Pick Three” as an expert on side hustles. I’ve also spoken at General Assembly, SF Design Week, California College of the Arts, Her Conference, Asians in Advertising, Social Media Strategies Summit, and Youth Marketing Summit, and hosted 200+ events that ranges from conferences at SXSW, Cannes Lions, and Advertising Week to hackathons, safe rooms and brunch series, all intentionally designed for folks to feel, connect and learn.
I help people create healthier, more aligned relationships with work. I believe our work is an extension of our souls. There is beauty in it. Let’s start designing work around our lives instead of the other way round. Creating more space for creativity and honoring ourselves with the meaningful lives that we are meant to live.
