An honest chat about burnout in tech

Video Description

I burnt out. As a Creative Director in tech and as a design content creator. I feel like I'm on my way to recovery now so I wanted to sit down and talk about burnout with you; what the signs were, how I'm dealing with it, and what I'm doing going forward to avoid it. 🚀 CharliMarieTV is powered by Figma! https://charli.link/figma Figma is a design tool that helps teams create, test, and ship better designs from start to finish.
