How to get my job is our podcast series on Youtube,  Linkedin and Spotify where we sit down with amazing people within the Design and Product industry and ask them how their careers started, evolved, and what advice they have for those coming after them.

In episode 6 of the series we speak with Eric Burman, a Director of Digital Product Design at Nike. Eric explains his journey from working as an Art Director in marketing and advertising to later channeling his creativity and curiosity into solving design problems for one of the world’s top leading sports brands.
