I used to enjoy my job, and now it's terrible. I aspire to be a great industrial designer, but I feel like I'm pigeon holed in my current role. I'm not growing as a creative. I feel stuck but I don't know how to get out of my rut.
Sound familiar?

In this episode we jump on a call with Jack Marple, the Associate Director of Industrial Design at Enlisted in Salt Lake City Utah to discuss design education and the top things that keep young (and old) designers from having job-winning presentation in their portfolios. We discuss eye-opening realizations we've had as educators and best practices on how to not only be able to identify good design, but apply it to your work.

In this episode of The Variable Design Podcast we dive in and discuss Sushant Vohra's LinkedIn post:
If you are a design student in 2023 don't fall for these 12 traps ↘
1) Being first in your class and thinking that design life is gonna be easy.
2) Copy pasting ChatGPT responses to comment on a post just for 'networking' sake.
3) Having those slider scales for each software in your CV (seriously drop it).
4) Writing a wall of text in a cold email to a potential employer.
5) Only having college/academic projects in your portfolio.
6) Having no internships because you want to work on your thesis, or because you didn't get your dream studio.
7) Not putting yourself out there for the fear of being judged.
8) Strong arming your peers who might eventually be in a far better place than you.
9) Only looking at design in your own country. (Yes, even if you are in a western country)
10) Not having a website or a landing page as a student.
11) Not having opinions or curiosity around things because you don't have domain authority.
12) Blaming your professors (feedback) for how a project turned out
Not only should we avoid these pitfalls, but we have to be able to be a good person and work well with team members... even if they give us feedback we don't really like.
How can you leverage interpersonal skills to come out on top? We discuss this and more with Andre Cotan.

UX design is more than just digital design.The experience revolution has begun, and we are in for a 30 year run.A True User Experience occurs when human senses are engaged (the more the better) and emotional responses are transmitted. A brand can intersect with the True User Experience through combined products and services in digital and physical means. We have long tried to adapt to technology, now we are asking technology to adapt to us.Experience design brings the human back into the center of the focus. We need designers who can create a balanced world of experiences. We need holistic experience designers.

There are a number of ways that we as creatives can inadvertently keep ourselves away from progress. In this episode we talk about common ways we shoot ourselves in the foot as industrial designers, how to avoid them, and what to do to find balance and improve in our craft.

Questions we cover in this episode
When is it appropriate to let intuition trump validation? Is validation always necessary? We always hear about how prospective employers are looking for “good decision making skills” in student portfolios. What the heck does that even mean and how the heck do we show that we’re good at making decisions in our design work? Is that just subjective or can we establish some ground rules?
1- Industrial Designers do human factors testing and ethnographic research to drive all their decisions.2- Industrial Designers are expected to perform life cycle analysis on products under development.
How do we balance sustainability and time constraints for production? Especially consumer electronics product dev, it’s like a flash in the fire. So LSA is usually glazed over, especially with smaller startups that aren’t held to the same scrutiny as big corporations.3- A design grounded in research findings is the best solution that should always be pursued.
In the long run, is it more helpful for one’s career growth to make a habit of presenting very solid, research based (or very intuitively grounded) solutions or do we think that being a designer that regularly pushes the envelope by presenting ideas waaay out in left field that you’ll see quicker gains in notoriety and skill?4- Industrial Designers regularly are carving foam in the shop to create mockups.
5- Industrial Designers who sketch well are better at communicating ideas.
6- Working at a design consultancy right after graduation is the best way to polish a wide variety of skills.
7- Working for a name brand company developing their own products means you’ll design only one thing and your creative diversity is limited.
8- The best way to move up the career ladder is to spend a good amount of time in one place to specialize. TS- Unfortunately no. Most designers will find that the only way to move up is to get out. My experience has been that in spades.
9- You studied ID, but will likely spend most of your time creating graphics for presentations and marketing collateral to promote products.
About Tony Shoemaker:Tony has been in various roles, across the country, in the ID industry for over 25 years. He came to Milwaukee Tool after 10 years with Sears, working for over 8 years in the Kenmore Brand unit, and 1 ½ years in the Craftsman team. Prior to Sears, Tony worked in consultancies such as Bally Design in Pittsburgh, and Ignition in Dallas. His experience includes medical design, toys, communications equipment, consumer electronics, housewares, packaging, graphic design, retail, and exhibit design.
Once described by a mentor as a “thoroughbred” designer, Tony has always sought to absorb as much information from the world as he can. He seeks odd knowledge and the synergy between its crossings to create those “ah-ha!” moments key to the design process. Just as comfortable in a pile of parts and shop dust as at his desk sketching fervently, Tony is a self-described “mad designer,” a hybrid of a Mythbuster and a Concept Artist. His real energy comes out when recognizing the human link to a concept’s genesis. He strives for those moments that are genuinely transformative to his work.

If you've been in the field of Industrial Design or you're just about to enter the field, then you've probably already noticed that there is a very traditional expectation you must meet. In MANY aspects.
- How you present.
- How you draw.
- How you act or express your opinion.
- How you 'live and breathe design'
When you don't fit this mold:
- It's frustrating to experience AND to watch happen to someone else.
- It's already a competitive field, and this just adds to the mental load.
- It has a dramatic effect on your perceived value to the industry.
In this episode we share our thoughts and experiences on this matter.

As a designer how do you find the balance? Should we expect to always be grinding into the late hours of the night working on designs? Or should there be a clear separation of work and personal life?
In this episode we talk about the realities of design work, how we can be authentic to ourselves, and how to find balance and leverage all the seasons of career development to our advantage.Support the show
