8: Why and how Design Mentorship was created

Design Mentorship (00:01.582)
Hi, welcome to the Design Mentorship podcast. Here we talk about the true face of disguise, career path design, mentoring, as well as our behaviors. My name is Kasia Szczesna, I am a behavioral designer and the founder of Design Mentorship. I invite you to learn about the stories of people who bet on courage and change through mentoring.

Design Mentorship (00:27.534)
Hello! Today's episode will be totally different. I'm without support, without a guest. I'm here today to talk about how Design Mendership was created, but also with reference to what my path of change and rebranding looked like, to emphasize why I'm talking about it at all and that it's not just from the books I've read, which of course I love, but how...

My experience and many of these different paths that have had their ups and downs, which I will want to highlight in this whole process, have translated into what the transition from point A to point B looks like, but also how the organization has evaluated thanks to people. And what is probably my main, as I thought about what the purpose of this recording is, it is mainly the goal that we can learn from our own mistakes, which in my case were enormously painful.

but we can learn from other people's mistakes and get to know how certain people came precisely through mentoring, through relationships, through conversation, networking, which will also definitely fly into my conversation because it has a huge impact on how all my development looked like and I think that here I will catch almost 10 years, more than 10 years of what was happening

I will also go to studies, although I find that not always and to what I also refer to during mentoring conversations between conversations in limbo, that studying is one thing and work is another. My studies had a lot to do with where I am. Maybe it's because I got the best out of my college years to translate it into my own work.

But let's not hide, I also started working in the second year of my studies, so you can say quite early a young girl who wants to see what the market looks like and whether it actually has a supervisor. And being in art studios, I think a lot of people just don't know that. I am not after UX studies, I am not after business studies, but after art studies, which also had a design direction.

Design Mentorship (02:47.374)
but nevertheless I was largely engaged in manual things, painting, drawing, sculpting, engraving in stone, so I have the whole workshop and all the crafts in my hands. However, seeing these design aspects back then, at that stage, I smile at Photoshop CS4 designers, it also shows me that it's a cool thing and maybe I'm able to do something about it. And the new year begins.

in mine, as everyone in every life. Of course, the plan for the new year is already done, because with the planning it seems to me that I have and do not have a problem, because it is usually too crowded and I work on it all the time. It's a shame to admit that if it goes on for 10 years, I'm doing it pretty badly. And I feel so dazzled that I have to have this job, I have to get it and see if what I am doing and whether it is worth continuing my studies.

It is worth doing it, because of course I would like to realize myself on it later, but also, of course, to earn money. Being all the more in this artistic direction, devoting time to it, these are full-time studies, but I take into account the fact that I did not get into the ESP in Krakow, so I have all the time in my head that maybe I should get out of this institute in Lublin and go somewhere further.

and on January 2nd I decide that I will take my beautifully printed CV and I will walk around companies, interactive agencies companies, software houses, advertising agencies, where I will ask if I can come to them for an internship. And if you imagine January 2, most businesses are closed. While still living in Lublin, where there was a lot of snow, to this day I remember crossing all the snowdrifts, but...

one company opens to me that turns out to be a great hit. I sit down with my now former manager and get the information when I read my resume, but you know that after your university you will not find yourself in the market. And then I answer without hesitation, I know, that's why I want to come to you for practice. And that also shows me and what I want to emphasize as well.

Design Mentorship (05:07.822)
that we do not always have to send a CV by email, you can go private, talk and I think that aspect has also prevailed. I think the majority of my entire career is that I talk. I talk, but I also realize later, because this talk must also be followed by action after ideas, after ideas. Of course, I adhere to the principle that any idea without implementation is a hallucination, so this is also a difficult process.

which I will also mention here. Because I have seen how many people want to do conceptual work, but if it comes to implementation, to talk, for example, with a client, with an investor, to implementation, it is already quite a difficult process, because we have to collide with someone's needs, which may not in fact correspond to what we have created. Even more so for artists who want to make a great project.

And not always this project has to be adequate and suitable for the client, because we designers we, I think I have already moved a little away from this approach, but designers also create a project for other designers to make it look good. And also going back to this job, it shows me also entering this market in general and working for some time for free, to which I also want to emphasize, although I start from the assumption that any work should be remunerated.

Even minimally gaining experience shows me this wide business world of cooperation with large customers, with fairs, with companies. Then I carry out a very personalized project for my managers, which is also dominated by certain emotions and this whole world of programming, graphics, business teaches me as a young girl what this company can look like.

And more than once, as cool as it sounds, growth trend, development, but more than once I tell myself, I don't know what to do here, I can't do it. And to this day I remember how two of my colleagues, wonderful graphic designers, came up to me in chairs and said Kaśka, never say that you can't do something, especially in front of a client. And anything can be done. And I still remember these words as if they resonated with me.

Design Mentorship (07:26.19)
Because in fact we are, we just have to spend more time, more than once bend a little or maybe open up more to given ideas. So here the team support and not sitting alone and the support of the people who were in this company was invaluable. So much so that they also helped me to go into my own business at the time.

and you can say that it was very fast and a girl who is 22 years old what she can know about business, running her own business and implementing projects, however she did not hesitate at that moment. As of today, I'm surprised myself, but looking back I know that it was a brilliant decision, even though I didn't have the most contacts and...

What he refers to, how these contacts could be expanded and how they can be done for today, I think that in all its glory these are networking meetings, these are various business meetings. At that moment, being in Lublin, there were not many of these meetings, but to this day, being at one of the Mobay Trends conferences in Krakow this year, I met a colleague with whom...

Just that day on this first network we met in Lublin. And it also shows me after those twelve years, maybe ten, how these contracts live, and I thought he certainly didn't remember where such a young girl was. At the moment, he runs his own company. Carrying out various projects for clients, learning, talking to them, creating briefs.

concepts, implementations. It was certainly a very risky time for me, but also educational to the point that at that time I also wanted to carry out interior projects. Projects that are related to the design of MEBI. And these are things that I have always been interested in and have always put such a barrier on myself that I do not have these studies.

Design Mentorship (09:39.342)
However, at some point, when I get back on my feet as a person who works, has his own money, I start to enroll in various interior design courses, which show me that a lot of people just want to implement concepts, choose cool colors, choose cool furniture, but when it comes to concepts, to technical drawings, to collaborate with investors, to collaborate with construction crews, it becomes a problem.

Therefore, I always urge you to check how this market actually looks in practice than the colorful one on training chickens. Although it was my training that was great when it came to interior design, when talking to the architect who ran it, he told me not to limit myself in terms of studies already at that moment, I think 2013 year, only...

she took her craft, which I learned for many years on graphic programs and gained experience with construction crews, with finishing crews, if I change it right and it will work. During the time that I received this information, without limiting myself, I saw how much we can gain during practice, experience.

I know that maybe it sounds bad to the people we did projects and maybe it was sometimes a trial and error method. However, I think that each of us learns on projects somewhere, so I strongly urge that whatever project it is, to learn it in practice and experience this world. As I remember spending a few hours at my accountant, learning the ins and outs of running my own business.

I tell the accountant that I will design the interiors now, and the accountant, my first accountant says to me, Kaśka, what are you doing? This is always the problem for interior designers. You're between a hammer and an anvil. And she was exactly right. I think that this profession is still great, but I think it was not for my profession, but I will tell you why, because I started to leave quite a lot.

Design Mentorship (11:46.606)
What started happening? During this time, I moved to study at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Computer Techniques, where I already transferred to professional studies in order to realize myself professionally. And many times I have also heard such a phrase that Kaśka either studies or works. And I know that a lot of people are also limited somewhere.

And I know it worked for a while in my head, in the back of my head, but I figured out how not now is when. And I know I can do it, although from my perspective I've said a lot of things that I can do, and it hasn't always been that way. And I hope that if someone does not feel and knows that they will not be able to do it, then they will think about it and know. From my perspective, in my case, something always had to happen.

and that is why I say that these are different ups and downs, especially in my cases and my accidents. Special greetings to my mother, when she had to visit me in the hospital for 4 years after any incident of some kind, that's how I will define it. Just then, having a car accident and being a little stuntman in the hospital, coming out of course all over, but erasing the car, I get a little glimmer, that what I'm doing now in life, and then...

I also worked in a fairly large interactive agency for large companies. They will say that, however, I do not want to implement it, I do not want to implement interiors. I want to realize myself abroad and then I decide, the idea is born in me, that I will want to go to the Scandinavian countries. This idea was already ingrained in me before, because already then I began to learn Swedish.

where I have not yet had more opportunities for work and travel, but then I make the decision in Lublin that I will learn this language. Yet online systems and online teaching work differently. And I find a girl who is a medical student from Stockholm, studying in Lublin. I urge her to teach me Swedish, because I will find that she does not know how to do it, but she will talk to me.

Design Mentorship (14:09.71)
And at that moment he spends all his money on learning Swedish and learning English so that he can get ready for interviews, prepare documents and leave. And it's also a time when I'm very intense with learning, but I believe it makes sense to have this conversation and what turns out, I'm having these conversations after those six months.

And I think that where I was aiming, of course, not in this direction, because I am going east, not west, that is, towards Stockholm. And although I go through the recruitment stages I think that thanks to my portfolio, although believe me, I am ashamed of it until today and I closed my eyes as I sent, but at the recruitment interview I get a question in Swedish, to which I answer and I think that it also decided that I got this job.

So what I also want to emphasize is another element, which is that we realize it is one thing, but the other is how we talk and go through certain stages in life and who we meet, how we talk to them in my case is of great importance and I also see it in the mentoring program that the people who make contacts are long-term, it is not only the transmission.

knowledge. Then there is also a very possible stage for me, perhaps one of the more possible years in my small career. There are also aspects of furniture design and perhaps they are not the most important aspect of Uix design here, although what I want to emphasize is the project that I was implementing

is exhibited at competitions, but what I want to emphasize here is that I do not have knowledge of furniture design, I get this knowledge from carpenters, I get from people who make furniture, I call, I learn about materials, about concepts, about the tool, how they are made so that this project can be described as best as possible and this also shows me that we do not need to know everything we do not have to be Alf and Omega does not have to be an expert in every role

Design Mentorship (16:30.35)
we can only ask ourselves, because people want to share knowledge and they are very willing and we do not necessarily have to pay people for it, as one might think, although I believe that this every work has to be rewarded. And in this way, this project is well described, a great technical project made, which gives me the opportunity to see how some of the largest furniture factories in Poland work.

and I see how personalized furniture is for different foreign markets. In this way, I also enter the Claire brand competition, where we also get to know what a factory of unusual furniture looks like and we again enter into the aspects of personalization, how people do their work.

what is the living contact with each other that this project carries out. Great experiences that also just show me from concept to creation, to implementation, what this project can look like. And in this way, somewhere the design, interior and furniture chapter closes, in order to start a typical Swedish cooperation.

and typically user experience, even though it was more of a name than a practice, the company doesn't quite understand what user experience is and what I'm going to do. It also shows me that at all the Scandinavian market is not fully taught to work remotely, so there are small barriers to how to implement it, how to do it.

The company learns that I speak a little Swedish, so I do some meetings in Swedish, sometimes not understanding anything. So huge chaos in three languages and implementing something that not quite anyone understands and not quite the business knows how to implement User Experience into projects.

Design Mentorship (18:31.566)
I do not hide that it was probably one of the greatest rides without handholds for me to learn as much as possible. Then the market is not clogged with trainings and courses to learn as much as possible. Then the biggest hope is where you learn the most from the Interaction Design Foundation courses, but I know that at that moment if I had a mentor, this development would have looked completely different, so that I could consult it, because for a long time I was one designer at the

A company of several thousand people and I do not hide that I am faced with a lot of fatigue, with burnout, although I still had quite a lot of energy for that moment. Arriving one week in Poland, another week in Sweden, to gain as much knowledge as possible from managers, from teams, how they work, then I also see the diversity in project management.

that if I want to prepare some kind of standardization, I am not able to go in with a single design process. I see how different projects are managed, not only in terms of culture, but in terms of team leadership. I meet the world of hardware and software, which I think is even more complicated than just implementing, for example, a simple application for ordering food.

Of course, I do not blame the non-communist, because every process has its pros and cons. Then I will make a total inventory of what is, what has been realized. There is a very large division between silos, which I also see now in companies that I want to create as one cool process. And I can't hide that I'm so tired of it all.

and I decide to resign at some point, because I'm not in a position to put it all over again. This also coincides with a nice job offer and I want to mention this thread here so that some people also draw conclusions that soaping eyes and cool offers are one thing, and the other is contracts, because having an interesting offer, where I still hesitate to leave, because I wanted to be consistent, how we like to be consistent or look consistent,

Design Mentorship (20:53.422)
Of course, I wanted to finish projects that would probably never end, but I get a lot of interesting benefits, an increase in the rate, which is at one point three times higher and at the end I get information. Then, while still organizing the World Useability Day conference in Wrocław, I get the information that this company will sponsor me and will be the main sponsor of this conference.

Then, too, I already decide to file a termination, go to the second company, but without signing any contract. After two weeks, I find out that a foreign company, a foreign client is withdrawing from the Polish market and I am left with nothing. That is why it takes on a different pace and not quite the right one and for which I always urge to conclude an agreement on time.

war. I'm not saying it was supposed to be a war, but to make us feel good and have a pad somehow. So I also emphasize that these are my ups and downs, to pay attention to what we do, how we do. Not always all this shines with as full sun as it might seem. And, of course, I'm coming back. I return with my tail up, although I am received with open arms. I continue to implement my projects, I continue to enter the whole company reel.

Designers are hired, but we do not have time for teamwork, because everyone has numerous projects on them. We want to create a so-called brand book, style book, now design system. We want to create processes, but there is no time for it, there is no way each company works differently, each team works differently. I am also wondering once again whether...

Don't quit this job because I can't do it again. There are also factors that make me think, because unfortunately my private life has always had to hit me hard on the ground and literally falling off the paraglider, although to this day I think that I fell like a star from the sky, so maybe it ended a little bit wrong with a few procedures and operations, but...

Design Mentorship (23:11.662)
Then, too, I decided to quit my job once again. However, it is a perverse situation when I get the information that one of the main managers is coming to Poland to talk to me about it, so I know that I am on a limb, I know that I have scratched myself again, but it turns out that we are having this conversation a little secretly.

without the knowledge of many managers in Poland, where they learn that one of the benefits of the entire reorganization of the company will be User Experience and I have to implement it. And then I realize that this is such an aha moment, that OK, there is maybe a little mess, but where I can realize something like that, where I get such a chance to learn as much as possible and I think that's one of my goals to...

to create something like this out of such a slight chaos, I would say out of nothing, there was no such organization. Then the whole race begins with how to create a strategy, how to create processes, numerous meetings with management, numerous meetings with digital transformation consultants, with strategic companies from Copenhagen.

flights and great meetings and workshops that we were able to discuss how to implement it. Suddenly I feel like I'm not alone in all this. We are also slowly starting to introduce recruitment aspects, to check how this market works. And suddenly I see in the portfolio and in the resume that people graduate from interesting schools.

schools, courses, but I don't see this translation in their portfolio, in their experience. It is also an element when I also start to go to the training market, to support different schools. I see how sometimes the program is prepared and how this knowledge is shared, that it is for this profession. More theory was stolen than practice. And I see, I'm starting to see a huge flare up, being in two roles, in two situations.

Design Mentorship (25:27.726)
And I think not that way, because in the company at that time we were not looking for people with a beautiful portfolio, but people who went through a certain chaos and are quite resilient, are flexible, of course they have knowledge, but for that moment we needed experienced people, but even those people who with experience submitted a CV with us.

further we did not see it in practice, in application, in cooperation with the management, in cooperation with the business and with such a technological aspect, because what I also want to emphasize is technological knowledge, which I also noticed slight deficiencies, where we have a graphic workshop, but not exactly technical knowledge.

and being myself after art studies I know what a gap it is, but it is not always necessary to go to a course, it is worth working closely with programmers, developers, engineers, asking questions, talking to see these aspects of programming. I can't hide that I ended up studying programming myself at some point.

And to this day I remember one of the professors asking us the question what we are de facto doing here. The entire 16th, probably, personal group. Me as one woman with a broken leg yet to all of this. And then it also showed me that most people answered that they came here for the money.

And I, of course, went there for the sake of learning how to talk to programmers, because I decided that I would not be a programmer and after that process of creating my own application I decided that I definitely did not, but a shout for all programmers who are in this mode of thinking, because I have experienced it.

Design Mentorship (27:22.51)
However, it also showed me how many people want to disguise themselves for money and later, when it came to the defense of those 16 people, only 4 came to the defense. So it was a time-consuming process of learning and creating. Although I can't handle Swift to this day, so thank you to the professor, who they can also talk to and go through this process of creating their own app, so how...

I emphasize that we do not have to do everything ourselves. And coming back to the business, corporate aspects, there is a huge scatter for me between people who finish courses, complete training, but do not have this business experience, and what we are looking for in this company. AND...

Being at this time in my own development, I also notice another factor, that is, I begin to look for my strengths, my own competencies, because when we think in a company about recruitment, we do not write only that we need a given position, but we write what competencies we actually need. For the reason that I am also

In the process, to which I also want to emphasize here, that my position is still called only user experience designer and I am not able to change it from legal aspects. Therefore, what I also strive for is that in X and X unequal in general every role is different. When I have this position I create an organization I do research or create my own products.

So I also urge you not only to suggest yourself with the names of positions, but to check the competencies and check the knowledge that a person has. This is also another element with competencies, where I see that many companies, also in my case, do not have time for research.

Design Mentorship (29:39.246)
And this question comes up often and we have quite a big problem with companies that do not want to invest in it, there is no time for it. I also understand the market that wants to have an immediate translation and not only see the report, but also see how to apply it. Although I strongly believe in research, but also, as I say, I try to understand the market. I'm starting to search on my own.

own customers, but also people in companies that have contact with the customer. And what I am also urging to do is to have contacts either with people from support or people who maybe have a similar business. Being in a company that deals with milking robots for the farm, I meet people, I go around the farms, I meet different people. I know that this aspect of farming can be...

one person smiles, but believe me these are huge businesses, where there are several managers on one farm and I also put on so-called rubber boots, I take off beautiful corporate shoes and put on rubber boots to see how a particular business works, I meet farmers in different countries and different managers and this also gives me a very big aspect of development.

which I also introduce into the business and also thanks to the support people who provide me with information regarding all the information from the client side. And this aspect is developing all the time. We create an organization, we hire people. I see what's going on in the market. I see what's going on in the training market. I am, I am not hiding, exhausted. AND...

What I see in many designers is how overworked we are. I, unfortunately, also here at some point go on dismissal due to a small burnout. There is a lot of it and I am talking here totally honestly, where is the person who pursues his dream, the goal, where he wants to create his own organization.

Design Mentorship (31:59.086)
to make something out of nothing, well it gets on its head, it gets on its own health, so I know a young person and we don't appreciate what we have, but that's certainly not the most important thing, but at this point there's another little thing happening, small and big, that also helps me get out of some burnout.

I do not want to emphasize it in this way either, because nevertheless I continue to implement myself in the same projects. At the time, I was overworked. I do not hide that the family aspects, being a mother, construction, various other elements of everyday life, intensive work and conducting courses, it is very, even flights, it is quite intense work, besides...

aspects of the COVID times that we can recall how it was in the beginning. So one big stress was especially when I was walking through an empty airport and I didn't know if I was going to arrive or not. During this time, I also begin to look at myself. What am I supposed to do with myself? Ok, I'm growing a business, I'm taking care of the house, I'm a good girl, but at some point I'm looking for my own strengths and my own predisposition. AND...

I come across... I come across, I am looking for a session of my strengths regarding gallup and I know that it is positive psychology many people are skeptical about these tests will not replace anything if there is a need for cooperative therapy with a psychologist but if someone wants to take a small step forward and get to know yourself better maybe such a test is opening but what I especially urge you to do because I had this test Taken two years earlier, this...

Conversation. A conversation, a session, a series of sessions with a competent person who will discuss the given talents in order to understand them as best as possible. Because I see in retrospect how badly I interpreted the results and how they were unencouraging for me compared to how I worked it out with the Galupa trainer who gave birth to the idea for Design Mentorship. And at that time, it's another brick that shows me

Design Mentorship (34:18.51)
that we are different. We have different talents, we have different needs, we have different ways of thinking. This is another element that also enters behavioral economics, but it will also be another factor, all in turn. And we begin to study the market. I'm creating a survey that's pretty short on disguise in the IT industry.

There are questions there. I don't remember the exact content of them, but it also shows me the right power to ask specific questions. One of the questions is how people disguise themselves, what they use and, of course, there are numerous courses, postgraduate studies, webinars, but when the question arises, what is most effective for you, it turns out that it is a one-on-one collaboration.

When I study the market for that moment I do not see any support in this regard, which is more official. That's why I'm starting to dig into the topic. If there is already an idea and a person who is challenging the government, then of course I come up with a beautiful idea to start a startup. So it doesn't matter that we don't have tests, but that's also in a moment.

I submit documents, I bury myself for a few months in documentation that is not quite supportive of support and deadlines that are moved, the pitch deadline is pushed and it is not implemented as we would like. I then also get information at the consultation that I can not go out with this idea to the market and I can not test it and then the light comes on for startups. Why?

we are implemented in documentation, in formalities and we are prohibited, we have a ban on testing and checking this idea on the market, because we will be kicked out of the program. And then it also shows me that we throw out information that 8 out of 10 startups fail. Why? Why? Because we do, of course we enter a competition analysis, a target group, which so de facto I...

Design Mentorship (36:30.958)
Of course, I would change these questions and issues in such a business plan, but if we are not able to check the market, and trying really hard, I think that the big money to start any startup is fat and spending so much time on documentation, which is also burning, I can not. As a designer, I have to test it.

I know, I get the information, okay, that if I go out with this, I can't show that I'm charging money for it, so I decide to create an organization, a mentoring program that's free. Az,. And we start the first edition, it is not...

So thoroughly executed it happens in space I think that a month and a half when I create a website that is created at night in one night I think that several hundred conversations with mentors that I hook up on LinkedIn, hook up different companies is mega informative and inspiring for me as I talk to designers and extract from this group of 13 people who enter the first edition of the course.

And I thank you very much from here today to the mentors who entered this process, who believed, who did not know what it really was, who bought my idea, who also invested their time, because as I say, this program was pro bono. There were a handful of us, but also considering that we had implemented the program.

mentoring and matchmaking that was personalized, so every mentee who signed up with us had the opportunity to choose their own mentor, this showed us after a week of open enrollment when 700 submissions came to us that it made sense. Ez dizanim, ez li ser vê yekê girt ku ew bernameyek belaş bû, ku mirov îmze kirine, û dibe ku tevahiya pêvajoya mentorkirinê dê biçe.

Design Mentorship (38:42.382)
pero esta prova social, a mostrando esta sequencia es phenomenal por mi desde la experiencia que los personas que desiderve a través de esta processo y también se han no pagado por lo que ha consulté con el coach de Galupa o consultar con el recruitment. And then also at each edition anyway, at the first edition, talking with Menti at the entrance and at the exit.

Det er, antes de iniciar la mentoración, eu verificam de ce que se começam, por qué vengono y lo que desiderer a ser attudo, y después de una menos meses, a falar con los en una civentos para ver lo que se han gestire a ser attainer. Het is een geweldig voor ik van mijn perspective van een cursus om een personen te gewijk, of een cursussen om een gedachte mentoer wurket, collaboratieert, hoe...

où il mentée est fait, pero pour me un grande étude de la besoin de ce que se va ser en la marché, porque todos son diferentes. In this way, the idea for the next edition is born, in which it shows me after the first edition a certain trend to build team mentoring. Then we also select teams, we select project challenges, we select startups that implement certain projects with us and it is quite a battlefield.

Ez ne veşêrim ku ew pêvajoyek tedious, demdirêj e û ne her gav bi qasî ku dibe ku xuya bike, ji ber ku ew pargîdaniyek realîst bû. The project that needed to be completed was not always easy. I know a lot of mentees couldn't be quite happy that it didn't go through the whole process, but from the mentors' perspective I know it was quite a challenge for them and a very valuable experience to collide with it.

Een akademische approach om wat happens in meetingen, hoe met een client, zoek zijn nog een informatie, onderzoek, zoek zijn, zoek, wat tijd, of wat tijd, of ook meer, hoe in een meetingement en hoe een klanten om te verkeergelegenheid. So a lot, a lot of elements that don't just show here that you need to have knowledge.

Design Mentorship (41:05.166)
but also to be communicative, open, proactive and flexible to more than one situation. The next edition also ends, that is, this second edition ends with conversations. I also carry out numerous meetings with guests, various networking meetings. It shows me that people after completing various trainings, courses, mentoring programs are left alone. They are left alone with what they have to do next.

how to approach recruitment, where to send a resume. This is a process that puts a heavy strain on the psyche. Even in research, it shows that this stress is comparable to very large life tragedies in families. Therefore, we decide to create a so-called talent base. Et est également né par cette, quand Je começó a avec plusieurs entreprises et start-ups et de faire l'outsourcer votre projet.
