ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Design Actually is a podcast about what it’s actually like to be a UX designer. Hosted by a designer-in-progress navigating a career switch, this show features honest, low-pressure conversations with everyday designers. Not the polished highlight reels, but the real stuff: imposter syndrome, awkward feedback, weird interviews, and the small wins that keep us going.
It’s about design — but also about finding your way, building confidence, and growing through uncertainty.
If you're quietly ambitious and still figuring it out, this podcast is for you. Let's figure it out together.
