After graduation, I am interested in working at a boutique style design firm. In my experience of internships and design firm visits I always felt most at home in the small more laid back firms. The casual atmosphere of the work space and family-like team of designers create a wonderful work environment. I like the idea that many people within the office can collaborate on projects and bounce ideas off each other for creative inspiration. Working in a smaller firm like this would also allow me to be hands on in many aspects of the project, seeing it out form start to finish.
I am hoping to be part of a boutique firm that values physical prototyping and experimenting as part of their design process as I would rather not spend all of my time working on a computer. Rendering forty hours a week is not my idea of a good experience. I also would like to avoid being part of a strictly industrial design firm. I would like the boutique firm that I join to work through spatial and communication design as well. I have interned at a Scenic and Spatial Boutique design firm and loved it, and I would not be opposed to incorporating that into my future career as well. I would very much like to explore the idea of using my industrial design education to work through other non-industrial design projects.
I hope to take my growing skill set into a job that will allow growth as a designer, but also improve my project management. In my future career exploration I would very much like to spend some time working in scenic and spatial design as I have found that industrial design lends itself well to these areas.
