Stepping into the professional world of architecture and design can feel overwhelming — not because of a lack of talent, but because the rules of visibility, communication, and opportunity aren’t always clear. In this solo episode, Louise opens up about her own path and breaks down practical strategies to help young creatives make their work seen, understood, and valued.

You’ll learn how to use platforms like LinkedIn as a reliable extension of your portfolio, how content creation can strengthen your professional identity, and why joining associations or entering competitions can open unexpected doors. This episode also explores how real networking works — not as a superficial exercise, but as a long-term practice of building relationships.

If you’re graduating soon, starting out, or simply trying to find your footing in the creative world, this conversation gives you concrete tools to gain visibility, connect with the right people, and build opportunities instead of waiting for them.

Design Your Way is the podcast for young creatives in architecture, design, and beyond. I’m Louise Blanche, a final-year architecture student in France, and I share my journey, my learnings, and my conversations with other young professionals and experts. Together, we talk about building an aligned career, developing your personal brand, and finding your place in the creative world.

In this honest, unfiltered conversation, I share my personal questions about the path I want to take after finishing my architecture studies. Somewhere between architecture, communication, and creativity, Design Your Way is a space to explore how we can build careers that truly fit who we are.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll hear reflections, real stories, and inspiring conversations with young creatives and professionals — all about finding direction, taking your first steps, and learning to design your career as intentionally as your projects.
