10 Things Every Designer Should do (at least once)...

Presently 6ing. Hoping to get 2ed once I have a 7 lined up. Would also go for another 4 or 5.

\

  1. Make/Fix something for your own use
  2. Get fired
  3. Bring a product to market, with your own money
  4. Start your own consultancy
  5. Pitch/sell an idea to investors
  6. Work corporate
  7. Work in a consultancy
  8. Live/Work in a different country
  9. Teach
  10. Work on a royalty or equity basis

also on my list:

Join/start a startup. I’m sure I’ll wind up teaching at some point. Especially if I can’t manage to make anything of my design career. :wink:
