How to build a strong career in design (TRANSITIONS #004 - Irina Flore)

I met Irina about 8 years ago in Strasbourg. She was 27, a passionate Design student who recently gave up everything to follow her dream. She was active non-stop – learning design, learning French, working odd jobs to support herself and her studies. I never saw her flinch in the face of hardships. She kept her smile on, she kept focused and worked harder. She still does. She is now in the US, a designer that is being recognized at renowned international exhibitions. This is a story of how passion and hard work can lead to a life of choice! Join us, I hope you enjoy the conversation :)If you want to see the beautiful designs made by Irina: https://www.irinaflore.com/Instagram: @irina.floreTo show your support for the podcast you can subscribe (free) on my website: www.skillsformars.com and click the YouTube - confirm your subscription buttonMusic: https://www.purple-planet.com
