After graduation, I prefer starting off in an in-house design firm. The environment, working in a firm not knowing everyone, does not suit my preferences. However, it will bring more opportunities to meet global designers and professionals in different fields than working at smaller firms. Even though I have studied in industrial design, I’m interested in packaging, web, and fashion. Thus, working at an in-house firm will help me discover and develop my interests from observations of what other designers do.
Also, if possible, I would like to tryout various in-house design firms because each firm will have different problems and solutions. After roaming around in-house firms, I will look for a boutique style design firm. A close knit working environment where you are able to get to know colleagues on a more personal level. I feel more confident and comfortable working with a small group of people that I know in person. When the time comes and sufficient financial backup is acquired, I would like to further my career by co-founding an agency with a close and trustworthy colleague.
Besides the size of the firms, the location of the firm will equally be important. I prefer the city where public transportations are thoroughly developed.
