Mom, I Got This!
Stanford Women in Design hosts Isabel Arboleda and Emily Redmond sit down with leading creative women to celebrate curiosity and ask the questions we all have floating around in our heads. Iz and Em guide us through how their guests have explored the role of design across different fields and transport us to the moments when these inspiring women have said "Mom, I got this!" even when they weren't quite sure. Join us to find out: when the steps are not explicitly defined, how do you find your passion and path?

Episode 3
Procedures. Rules. Systems. Nariman Gathers walks us through what it was like to be a budding systems designer as a neuro-atypical person. They delve into stories from collecting post-it-notes and gel pens for crafting as a kid to feeling crushed by the weight of expected-perfection in the post-college years. Now a lecturer at Stanford’s d.school (Stanford’s design institute) and design program manager at Plaid, Nari's reflection is full of laughs and fond realizations of how they designed their twisty path to happiness. In this episode, we talk about the ‘making’ moments, ‘breaking’ moments, and everything in between.
