Hello everyone,
my wife might be getting a new job opportunity in Orlando, and of course we would be all going! Duh!Do you know any good design studio there? I have no clue. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I hear that the mosquitoes are as big alligators down there...

I don't know if they have any links to good studios, but it seems like a fairly decent place to start.

Still looking for good places there...

wow... orlando its tough
- amongthemasses0
Yeah Orlando is a tough town. I got out when I could. Not a lot of design firms and most jobs are sucked up by UCF students. Used to work here although I am not sure if they are hiring.

It was not going to be my first choice, but my wife got a sweet job offer and we couldn't say no. We'll see how it goes.
Maybe is time to look into other opportunities!

mattia I do wish you the best of luck there, but it is tough going for design in Orlando. Most of the big firms in Florida are in Miami and even Tampa has a better design scene. There are some boutique shops in Orlando, but they rarely hire outsiders.

best wishes though in whatever choice you make. honestly.

yeah i think i heard PUSH was hiring
- amongthemasses0
Yeah starting your own design practice would be the way to go in Orlando. Tons of work there and not too many people have a clue about design. Hence the reason why Push is a strong firm in Orlando. That and their fancy Group94 site.
- it should be noted I like Push and they are good people.amongthemasses
- Feel free to hire me if you do!pencilpants

I've been on my own for the last year, and it's been working so far. Let's see how it goes there. Hopefully there is a lot of work as you say amongthemasses!
