Jason Mesut shares an overview of his work over the past fourteen years developing visual frameworks for design teams, leaders and designers to map their skills and define their future professional development.
Through his role as a team leader, and with workshops he runs with the community and his clients, he has seen how valuable it is for designers to self-reflect on who they are, and project the areas in which they feel like they should develop. Whether that’s within, or beyond the context of the organisation in which they work.
He believes using these visual frameworks can help:
- Hire the right people and build the right teams for your organisation
- Reflect on your own abilities as designers, leaders and managers
- Direct your own and your team’s development
- Teams feel better about who they are within their organisation and recognise the opportunities of staying rather than leaving to grow themselves
You'll also hear his story of vulnerability, anxiety and torment that ultimately led into investing in this area over the last year. Something that many designers and design leaders have related to across the globe.
