2013 has started
** Bang **
And so the sessions continue. The next one will be in March and I want to discuss 'Design aspiration vs commercial reality' - this is one of my favourite topics and something I can get rather passionate about.Aspiration vs reality
R35 000 tables vs what the majority buy
China vs local
Designing local but making it in China
Magazines love it but the public don't buy it
.... And so the list goes on
This year I am also planning on taking myself into schools to chat to kids about the power of just going out there and doing it. Like all of us have. No one teaches you how to go knocking on doors and the reality of flogging your product. Or what to do when the product you love does not sell (stop trying to sell it and make something else maybe?) Or that you can do accounting and art! Imagine that? And that Enthusiasm and a smile can get you everywhere.
'If you don't ask the answer is always no'
