133. Busting the myths behind full-service design - A Designer Meet-up Panel Ft. Mia Parres, Jaclyn Genovese & Carly Nemtean

This episode is the very first time we’ve ever shared a recording of a live event! What you’re about to tune into is a panel talk from the in-person Designer Meet-up we hosted on November 10 2022 in Toronto, Canada. I was joined by 3 amazing panelists and we focused on busting the myths behind offering full-service design. We get this question a lot - “What does offering full-service design mean?” So in this panel, we uncovered it all - the good, the bad, and the ugly!
