Yeah, I feel that my company doesn’t take my work seriously, even though I design everything (from packaging to heat sinks) I can’t even get Moldtex books or Pantone chips, Let alone an ergonomic chair! I’m frustrated!
I feel that being the first designer at the company, I have to be patient ang go slowly but this is a publicly traded corporation so I’m sure there has to be a budget for us. I have incorporated another designer/model maker and an engineer and we are getting there but how can I REINFORCE the importance of design support!
I like the products we design, we can make a difference environmentally and everyone is extremely nice but as a designer I feel pinned down to a chair with no creative influence, that is why I feel the need to be part of conferences and trade shows.
Is it just me in this position?
