Part 4: Why It's a Great Time to be a Young Designer
On Starting Out:
Johanna Stout: Go learn from someone else before you start your own company if you want to be a designer.
Misha Nonoo: There is something very very beautiful about the idea...of starting something fresh...I think ignorance is bliss at a certain point and you just have to step out and try something.
You can make something small and it grows...very organically.
On Business and Designing:
Nonoo:As a designer, 20% of your time is spent designing and 80% is doing business. So if you're not a business person, you have to become one.
On Sharing via Digital Media:
Jarrad Clark:This is your one chance to leave your DNA.
Nowadays, you can share your dreams with so much more of a reach, and faster (via online).
Young designers don't have to relocate with digital sharing. You can do it from your own backyard. With social media, they have more access now.
