Esteban González is a motion designer and creative director from Uruguay who didn’t go to design school. Like many, he started his journey feeling like a fraud, unsure if his work was good enough to be shared, or if he even had the right to call himself a designer.
Through personal projects and a self-taught approach, Esteban began sharing his thoughts and experiments on LinkedIn. What started as a bunch of random posts eventually became a consistent practice and a newsletter. Over two years and more than 600 posts later, publishing in public turned into a core part of his design growth and freelance career.
In this talk, Esteban will reflect on how impostor syndrome shaped his early years, how personal projects gave him a space to learn and explore, and how creating and publishing, without permission, helped him build a path in motion design on his own terms.
