Design Currency - Breakfast with Mark E. Sackett - Why Sitting is Not An Option
(owner of 10 related creative businesses)
My notes from Mark's talk including my thinking in italics:
- Interesting: equal number of hands went up for these two questions: those still passionate about what they do, and those that want to change/do different things; shows the untapped potential inside all of us.
- We don’t share information in this profession (opportunity here – bring cases/proposals to share process etc).
- Won’t do spec work (imagine asking a bartender to open three beers, sample all of them, then only pay for the one you like).
- Doesn’t go to many design conferences, instead goes to business conferences/meet-ups.
- Find someone better than you and share your portfolio – it’s an honest set of eyes (something all professionals can do – when was the last time you sat down with someone you admired and showed them your latest work to hear their feedback?).
