9 Tips for Starting a Design Business
With such a huge presence of design needs, many people are looking to start their own design business. Whether you’re a freelancer, or a designer who’s been working in the field for a long time—you could always use a little help. Here’s where to start:
Not Such an Open and Shut Concept
The key is finding a balance of the open concept office collaborative workspace and the privacy that a more closed workspace allows. We addressed this problem a little bit with our Loop phone booth. Every open concept office has a need for privacy: a safe area where people can have a bit of alone time. Offices need to take a moment to reevaluate how they operate and design the proper experience for their workers.
VR and AR: the Future of Design
Augmented reality, allows designers to exist in the same space as there design while being able to digitally add to it. While Google Glass failed and has now been discontinued until further notice, it paved the way for the future of augmented reality in design.
Process Makes Perfect
