ODD1 was the experience I didn't know I needed until I joined. This community has been one of the best learning experiences I have ever had, and as someone in the cohort said: I came for the talks, but stayed for the people.
Proud ODD1 alumni <3

The Leadbot matched me up with Marco, and I reached out and said hey. He responded and was like, wait, are you Tán from Proctor High School?
I nearly broke my neck doing a double take and checked his Slack profile, and yep, we went to the same high school!

Happy to announce that I'll be continuing my @beondeck journey (after #ODNC1) with its inaugural Designers Fellowship #ODD1 🎉
Excited to be a part of an awesome community of the best designers, from seasoned pros to rising stars 🌏 #design @MindaugasLT https://t.co/36Fpx1g23h
What an amazing 2 months with this crew — filled with sharing stories, learning, growing as design leaders, and building life long relationships 💙
Excited to see @beondeck launch their Design Fellowship program. I’ll be joining as a speaker as the program kicks off.
Aspiring designers out there looking to level up in leadership skills would do well to sign up!
I’m celebrating! Last week I wrapped up an eight-week design leaders fellowship program through OnDeck. It was a huge period of growth and learning; I formed strong friendships with other designers and spent time soaking up a ton of wisdom:
- Building a culture of safety
Yup, we sure DID talk about Brene Brown, and how leaders can lead by example in the vulnerability department.
- Scaling design teams
One of my key takeaways: understanding the importance of growing into leadership at the right pace, and with active support.
- Business + Design
I learned how to estimate design outcomes *in dollar amounts* to construct compelling narratives to business.
I just accepted my offer to join the @beondeck Design Fellowship in August 🥰💃🏽💃🏽
Thank you @MindaugasLT for the opportunity and @CaddleMaya for putting me on to it.
I’m so thrilled to be a part of this!

I accepted my offer for Senior Manager of UX yesterday! Grateful to #ODD1 and my fellow cohorts, @MindaugasLT, and @davidhoang for helping me up level during the fellowship. If you’re considering doing #OnDeckDesigners it really helped me and I’m still finding benefits!
I got to participate in my first Fireside Chat at @beondeck with @MindaugasLT and @thoughtwax the other night, and these were my notes coming out of it.
I especially resonate with Emmet's thought that creating a culture of sharing can already start in the hiring process 💯

Cake (my love language) from the @beondeck design fellowship team @MindaugasLT 🥺 I heart you, too, team!
