Natalia Alessi 'English as a second language & finding your way into a career in Design.'

Welcome to a new episode of Getting Stareted in Design, I’m your host Ben Maclaren. In this episode, I talk to Natalia Alessi, a design lead at the University of Melbourne. Natalia reached out to us to help with some user research after this years Doing Design Festival. She shared her illustrations from the Festival and I was inspired by her journey to bring her on the show. We talk about some of her experiences and challenges moving to Australia to transition into her design career from another field and how her perspectives on language and culture have influences her journey.  She shares her insights into making design more accessible and common challenges she has seen design students face.
