What a Service Designer actually is!
An understanding of the innovation and culture transformation side of the business world.
Host: Kat is a Service Designer at SPARCK. Her previous roles include all the appropriate buzzwords, from Creative Strategist, to Innovation and Digital Transformation Director for a Culture Transformation Consultancy. An eternal optimist, she believes in creativity and the power of play to transform how we work and connect. Have you struggled to find a career title that matches what you want to do? Do you sometimes wish you could create your own? In this class, Kat will share her career journey of discovering all the amazing jobs in the creative industry which no one tells you about. Students will also hear the story of how she decided to start writing her own job titles and teach herself the skills she needed to land her dream job.
There are so many jobs out there most of which students may never have heard of! Getting first hand insight into individual journeys people have taken can be really helpful in helping you figure out your own journey.
