Designing your path
So many people are “looking for a job” and they’ll take anything they can get — but can’t get anything. We think you need a clear path – or you’re going to be stuck! What if you allowed yourself to explore – and to see – where you’re really going? And what if you could just have that job that’s perfect for you?
This program is really for anyone – in any situation. You don’t have to be a designer – or a developer. Maybe along the way, you’ll figure out that is a good path for you? We don’t know. But it’s a universal framework for figuring this stuff out.

General
-
What tools do I need?
– We recommend a free Figma/FigJam account for visual mapping
– Access to ChatGPT or Claude (free tiers work fine)
– But honestly? You could do this entire process on paper if you want
– We’re showing you the tools WE use – use whatever works for you -
Can I take this if I've never had a career job before?
– Yes – this actually works BETTER before you’ve made random career choices
– Your life experience matters more than work history
– The goal is to discover direction BEFORE arbitrarily applying everywhere -
What if I've had multiple completely different careers?
– Perfect – you have more data to find patterns in
– Career changes reveal what you’re moving toward or away from
– This framework helps make sense of seemingly disconnected experiences -
Is this a one-day workshop or self-paced course?
– Both options available
– Workshop: One intensive day (5-6 hours) working through everything
– Self-paced: Video course you can complete over a week (~45min-1hr per day) -
What will I have at the end?
– A clear understanding of what you actually want
– 3 specific target jobs that align with your patterns
– Tailored resumes and a proof strategy for each
– A framework you can use anytime you need to reassess -
This sounds emotionally intense - is it?
– Yes, sometimes. You’re examining your whole life for patterns
– Some realizations might be uncomfortable (“I’ve been applying to jobs I’ll hate”)
– But that discomfort leads to clarity -
Do I get job placement or interview coaching?
– No – this course helps you discover direction and create targeted strategy
– What you do with that clarity is up to you
– We’re not responsible for your job search outcomes -
What if I realize I'm in the completely wrong field?
– That’s valuable information! Better to know now than in 5 more years
– The framework helps you figure out the RIGHT field
– Career changes are hard, but less hard than staying misaligned -
Can I take this course with a group/team?
– The in-person workshop works great for groups
– Self-paced video course is designed for individual work
– Your discoveries are personal – but discussing patterns with others can help -
How is this different from just 'figuring it out myself'?
– You could figure it out yourself – but most people don’t
– The framework forces you to actually DO the work systematically (like a mini “boot camp”)
– Seeing someone model the process shows you what “done” looks like
