The Design Drop

There’s no single way to build a career that works for your life. This episode follows Kelly Cooper’s path through brands including Nike, Levi’s, Dickies, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Universal Music Group, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Kelly and host Caroline Murphy talk about dropping the corporate cheerleader act, building a personal brand, advocating for what you need, and finding your own version of success. This season of The Design Drop is presented by Haworth. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

There’s no blueprint for building a career in design, and Clare Sullivan certainly didn’t follow one. From earning her MFA at Parsons and starting out in residential design to building a content platform entirely her own, Clare’s career took shape at a moment when nobody really knew what was coming next. Clare and host Caroline Murphy talk about trusting your instincts before the path is obvious, redefining what it means to be a designer, taking feedback without taking it personally, and what happens when the career you’re building looks nothing like the one you originally planned.
