I’ve been in design my whole life. Started off in packaging then got a little studio together with some mates (that lasted a year). Then joined a cool little company and helped them grow for the next 10yrs.
Bumped that and joined another studio for a lifestyle change (who were bastards); left and worked on my own for several years whilst doing some lecture work at the local Uni. Things slowed so I joined another studio recently.. but am now on furlough.I love being creative but it’s always seemed really difficult to make money from design.
Currently thinking of setting up a weekend pizza pop-up, because that’s easy to make money from, right?
- Pizza business are hard work.. buddy in my hometown switched to ice-cream parlours.. he told me it was 10 times easier to run and wished he'd done it years agoSlashPeckham
- From my experience, it's hard to make money consistently as a creative. The turnover is pretty cruel.CyBrainX
- You're still on furlough?! Fuck.Nairn
- ..on and off furlough. Neither here nor there...Beardy
- Well, knowing a few people in a similar position to yourself, I hope you're making lemonade out of a load of lemons! :)Nairn
