Design Business for Breakfast Series: Structure Your Projects and Process

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 | 7:30 - 9 a.m.
Il Fornaio, Pacific Place
600 Pine Street, Seattle

Whether you’re a freelancer, an in-house designer, or working at an agency or studio, you can never know too much about the business side of design. And in today’s tough economy, you need that business edge even more.

In this three-part breakfast series, David Sherwin of frog design will host professionals from the Seattle design community, each of whom has deep experience in client service, project management, and design studio management. David and his co-presenters will give you a fresh perspective on professional practices and provide you with tips and tools that you can start using right away.

Structure Your Projects and Process
Heighten your project management skills and build stable business processes that support your creative work. Led by Fiona Robertson Remley, who has built processes and managed projects at many Seattle agencies and corporations, including Worktank, Big Fish Games, Martini Design, Methodologie, Nordstrom, and Microsoft.

Design Business for Breakfast

2/25
Jump Start

Thursday, February 25 | 7-8:30 p.m.
PONCHO Concert Hall, Cornish College of the Arts
710 East Roy Street, Seattle

Each year we invite a diverse panel of design professionals to speak to students and young professionals about career paths in design. This year’s panel will share valuable insight about the interview process, what design businesses look for in portfolios as well as future employees, and useful tips for getting a job. They’ll also talk about some of the varied possibilities in the design professions that they themselves have explored.

Panelists:

There will be an installation of student design work to view before the event, a raffle giveaway with exciting design prizes, and after the panel discussion an informal social event at the Deluxe Bar and Grill, where you can meet other designers from the community and continue the conversation.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Limited parking is available.
