Getting Personal Projects Made
Nearly every designer after a few years of working for a studio, begins to think about starting his or her own business.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a fancy office, work only on the projects that you like, without having to sell your soul to the devilish client and compromise when amending designs? But reality is more complex than that and definitely less romantic.
Irene Pereyra will talk about transforming a small studio into a project and will share her experience including all the successes and failures she went through along the way.
