I often find that designers, whether they’re business owners, freelancers or employees, get sort of freaked out by the idea of planning their business or career. It can be an overwhelming prospect: figuring out what you want from your work life (and life in general) and charting a course to get there.

But what if you approached it like a design project? Like, start with a project brief in which you write down your goal and plot out steps along the way. Then find the best creative direction that’ll achieve what you want.

That’s the basic premise of HOW’s current webinar series on professional development for designers. Jeni Herberger’s June session drew rave reviews from participants who appreciated her honesty and openness, as she encouraged folks to really think about what they want. Jeni’s next session is July 24, and it’s one that any designer won’t want to miss. Plus, we’ve sweetened the deal: Sign up, and you’ll get a nifty downloadable HOW Career Guide as a freebie.
