ID Jobs in Connecticut?

Does anyone know how the job market/ID field is out in Connecticut? Considering moving out there around summer time and I don’t know of any ID jobs or places that hire Industrial Designers. Any knowledge/ input would be helpful. thanks!

Limited is probably the best answer, unless you are willing to commute into NYC.

A quick glance on Coroflot and Linked in shows a small handful of jobs around the area, and CT is a fairly big place, so it will depend on where you end up living.

I used to live and work in CT. Design wise there are a lot of small studios that tend to do a lot of work with clients in New York and Boston. I used to work at Evo Design, www.evodesign.com great place.

Use the core77 design firm locator to find others.

Also, a few companies with design offices in CT:
Schick
Uni lever
Conair
Timex
Remington

Hasbro and Samsonite are nearby in Rhode Island.

LEGO! Do they do any design at the Enfield HQ?

I’ve heard of these guys before too - established firm - http://www.groupfour.com/





Thanks for all your input guys! This gives me a good start to my search. Much appreciated :slight_smile:

They do POS/Graphic/Marketing design in Connecticut mainly for the NA market, but all product/set design is done in Denmark.

Here’s a link to a search for ID firms in CT from DesignDirectory.com

Great to see that Group 4 is still around. I thought they were gone for some reason but I must have been mistaken.
