Episode 7 - Q&A Promotion

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I tackle a big, juicy question that hits home for a lot of designers: How do you make a case for promotion—especially when your workplace doesn't have clear metrics? If you're already doing the work of a senior designer but haven't gotten the title (or the raise), this episode walks through the mindset, strategy, and conversations that can help move things forward. Here's what I cover: Why doing the work is necessary—but not always enough How to start a productive, ongoing dialogue with your manager What to do if your company has no formal promotion structure How to ask the right questions and track your growth When (and how) to check your value on the job market Why building your case for promotion is a professional growth moment—no matter the outcome Whether you're in a studio, agency, or corporate design team, this episode is full of real-world insight on navigating the promotion conversation with confidence and clarity.
