ABOUT

As a Design Recruiter, I receive a lot of applications from Junior designers seeking help and advice on how to start a career in design. Recently, I caught up with a few applicants and asked how easy they’ve found the process of getting their foot in the door. For many, if not most, it’s been an extremely difficult process which raises some huge questions: How accessible is Design? How receptive is the industry to graduates and new talent? If there is something intrinsically inaccessible about the industry, how can we break it down? I think the main issues are affordability, timing and people.
