A talk from Raw this afternoon was very interesting. Their moto of 'do good work for nice people' was particularly inspiring and their whole approach and ethos highlighted the importance of knowing who you are as a designer.
Important and inspiring points raised in the talk included -
-If you want to do something, do it! You'll only regret what you didn't do.
-Maintain a life work balance.
-Work for yourself not others.
-Research is very very important.
-Good things take time.
-Have fun and make it up as you go along.
I was particularly inspired by the career path that Rob had followed. Taking the plunge and launching his own studio, but then making the decision to finish this was inspiring. Seeing them develop their own products has been an eye-opener, demonstrating that anything can be done if you put your mind to it. Robs advice will definitely stick with me for the future as I want a career that I want and enjoy rather than one that is manufactured by the industry.
