As part of #WTDSpeakerStories, Women Talk Design spoke with Kat Zhou about her journey as a public speaker and how her beginnings way back in middle school and high school prepared her for her career now. She highlighted her experiences speaking in and out of the public sphere, how she finds motivation in the change she wants to affect in her industry, and the importance of asking for what you deserve. In the Women Talk Design Speaker Stories series, WTD interviews Women Talk Design speakers about their journeys and experiences.
