This week I met with Sara Pontoppidan, Design Director at Clandestine Design Group. Sara moved to Australia from Europe to start her career in design. She moved from CMD Strategy Design & Innovation and then moved on to Counterspace design in Melbourne. Over the last 6 years, she has worked her way

up to design Director at CDG in Brisbane. In addition, Sara also recently became a Good Design Ambassador for the Good Design Awards.

In the Podcast, we discuss Sara's background leading her up to where she is today. We discuss the challenges she experienced being a woman in design, speaking to how we can help foster more women in design. Sara also discusses the value of design mentorship as a designer starting out. In addition, Sara presents the philosophical frameworks she holds key when progressing through her career. Further, we discuss her experience in moving into her role as design director, speaking to how designers

can develop their team management skills.

I hope you enjoy the podcast, and if you do would you consider subscribing and sharing the podcast with a friend to help grow the

platform.
