In this episode of TDA Talks, our Global Commercial Director, Kim Wardle, is joined by Louis Marino to explore his career journey and how he made his way to Visa.
Together, they dive into what it takes to build a strong design culture, especially across diverse teams and ecosystems, and what Louis really looks for when hiring designers. From portfolio dos and don’ts to the platforms he prefers (and avoids), Louis shares practical advice for designers at every level.
They also discuss the evolving role of the office, how Visa is approaching hybrid work, and why FaceTime can be especially important for junior talent. Looking ahead, Louis shares what excites him most about the future of design, and even reveals an unexpected fact about himself to wrap things up.
This is an honest, insightful conversation that’s not to be missed, whether you’re leading teams, building your portfolio, or just getting started in the design world.
