After viewing and discussing about the different firms in class, I strongly believe a boutique design firm would suit me best. Being in a small firm would allow me to understand the firm in depth and establish a close bond with my colleagues. Thus, creating an environment that would be comfortable, easy-going, and enjoyable to work in, which is definitely what I’m looking for. Additionally, it’ll let me jump into areas out of my discipline, which I find quite interesting.
I would avoid large firms. I believe being in a large firm would make it difficult to actually have a full understanding of what the company does. It also creates a “sweat shop” environment since people will only focus on one general area that they are responsible for/familiar with, which can prevent friendly relationships to happen. Therefore, it’s definitely the opposite from what I’m looking for.
I’ve actually only experienced areas that were done independently, so team projects are something I would like to explore. In other words, how firms work as a team and how they distribute work in order to complete a task. Also, I question what kind of work is given to each and every designer in a firm.
