You Asked, I Answered. (Career & Getting Started Questions)

In My Facebook Group I told you to Ask Me ANYTHING about conversation design, and I got a lot of awesome questions about HOW to become a conversation designer, what it’s like on the job. Check out my Youtube video to hear my answers!

Including:

1. How can you transfer to a career as a conversation designer? Where do you even begin? - How do you build and present a conversation design portfolio?

2. Upskilling: Should you get training in linguistics? Should you learn to code?

3. Are there any conversation design courses / programs online that I recommend?

4. What other job positions does a conversation designer collaborate with or support? Who are their coworkers?

5. How can conversation designers advocate to be involved from the very beginning of a project so they can help design the whole flow of the conversation?

6. Which project am I most proud of and why?
