🎙 Welcome to the Women Who Tech Show!
In the third episode, I sit down with Isabelle Hüther, Design leader and Mentor, for a real conversation about design leadership, team diversification and representation of women, and the future of design roles.
Isabelle brings a wealth of experience in leading design teams, fostering a sustainable team culture, and mentoring designers worldwide — helping them navigate the job market and level up in their careers.
🔥 We dive into:
✔️ The situational leadership approach — why great leaders wear multiple hats
✔️ What truly makes a good manager and how leadership impacts team success
✔️ Why diverse teams are stronger and better at meeting user needs
✔️ How to make career progression transparent and objective
✔️ The ownership and adaptability mindset every senior designer needs
✔️ The rise of the T-shaped designer — why versatility is key in today’s industry
✔️ The future of design — where designers act as problem solvers beyond tools
✔️ Turning passionate discussions into productive conversations by aligning goals and understanding motivations
🔹 Three words that define design for Isabelle: Empathy, Strategy, Impact.
One quote that stuck with me after our conversation: "A good manager is on the side of empowerment, not manipulation".
