Change your Design Career with the Art of Business Development in Design
Are you looking to uplift your design career?
Are you tired of the same monotonous design job and want to establish yourself as a design entrepreneur?
Are you interested to learn the practicalities of the industry, beyond just design?
At some point, we all have wanted to become our own boss. To be an entrepreneur, or be able to start our firm or just lead a business in a substantial capacity! But the practicality of starting one’s practice is a different reality all together.
Every year, around 75% of startups fail. As designers, we are aware of our skills as creators and are trained to design but how to convert those skills into business is a huge leap that is tough to master! But If you’re aware of what needs to be done, then you are just a step away from becoming a young entrepreneur.
Join this 3 Day, 7 Step Course, that will help you learn and comprehend the concept of Business Intelligence, by adding gravitas and modernity from a designer’s point of view. Personal attention will be given to every student through 1-1 Interaction with the mentor, which will help them build their Design Career & Business.
