Do you get to finish working on your creatives within the work hours, or do you always find yourself taking them back home? I'm the kind of person who'd rather sit in the office till it's done, than take it back with me... but since late 2025, I've been remote, and the total lack of distinction between work life and MY life has been affecting me a lot.

You’re not alone in feeling that remote has blurred everything. I now “fake a commute” (walk, gym, coffee) and set very hard shutoff times, even if that means some pieces roll to tomorrow, because otherwise every project becomes “just one more tweak” at midnight.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
