@meshtimes: I went from fine arts to fashion to product design, and honestly? it took me a while to realize you don’t need to have it all figured out to take the first step 😤 Believe it or not, you probably already have most of what it takes to pivot already! Most of the skills are transferable :-) A few small things that helped me (maybe they'll help you too): 🪷 Small steps that made the biggest difference:
✶ Taking free online courses before committing 
✶ 1:1 chats with designers 
✶ Tiny self-made projects
✶ Applying before I felt ready 🪷 Things I wish I knew sooner:
✶ You don’t need to know everything
✶ Your past adds value
✶ Feeling lost = normal, not failure 🪷 A simple roadmap:
✶ Name your strengths
✶ Choose one skill to grow
✶ Start a tiny project
✶ Learn from others
✶ Apply, reflect, repeat
