Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Women designers in the Dribbble community share diverse stories of building creative careers on their own terms, from freelance illustrator Irene Neyman, who reformatted her career after becoming a mother to prioritize intentional project choices. Miné Day, co-founder of MUTI Studio, emphasizes creating collaborative work cultures where people feel valued rather than having to prove their worth.
