Design getting the seat at the executive table is still a steep hill to climb.

For the 100th episode of the show, I'm bringing my friend and longtime coworker Clay Walter to talk about his growth into the VP of Design role.

We discuss what you have to unlearn to become influential as a designer in your org and what is looked for in a VP of Design.
