Design Party

In this episode, I had a guest from Belarus living in Finland and a master of languages Maryna! We chat about the struggle to learn Finnish and what do we like about Finland.

Many of us want to run our own design business but that's no easy task. In this video episode of the Design Party podcast, I have a guest joining to illuminate the topic and share some tips. Philip Wallage is a designer from the Netherlands and as a business owner, he will share incredible information on how to start and maintain your own business.

In this episode we are discussing design trends, we also visit into accessibility in design and then we share our views on trends and what's "in" these days.

Helena and I are chatting about design systems!

Daniel Motta is a design leader from Brasil, now located in Helsinki. I had a blast chatting with Daniel about many lives of a designer where we discuss changing disciplines, learning new ones, and life as a designer in general.

The game I mentioned. It is called Science Kombat. It was made by Daniel's friend Diego Sanches, who's an amazing illustrator who found a niche in Pixel Art.
