Too Many Interests? Good! Build Your Career Around Them.
What if your dream job doesn’t exist—so you create it? In this talk, award-winning designer and creative educator Julie Bonner shares how she built a joyful, multi-hyphenate career rooted in branding, community, and creative entrepreneurship. Learn how to embrace your "nontraditional" identity, build a narrative around your many talents, and design a career that truly reflects who you are.
In this session, I’ll share:
✔️ How to talk about your nonlinear career path with clarity and confidence—without minimizing your strengths or confusing your audience
✔️ A simple framework to help you find the common thread that connects all your work
✔️ And tools to avoid burnout and build a career that supports your energy—not just your résumé
You’ll leave with a clearer picture of how all your creative pieces fit together.
