SPRING forwards

'SPRING' is the name of 3 networking sessions the Generator will be hosting before Christmas - one in October, one in November and one in December.

One of the most important features of SPRING will allow Graduates to receive the opportunity to network with peers across design disciplines, with practising designers, and with mentors, industry, retailers and potential customers. It is now becoming well established that when young designers engage with people outside the confines of their own area their learning is amplified, and that breaking down the barriers between the various design disciplines is generally beneficial.

"For me a business plan is a road-map to make your idea happen. Nothing more, nothing less. I’m not sure creatives should be talking about revenue streams and supply chains when they mean income and a network of friends and contacts in various creative fields. "I met this guy and he knows someone who can help out." That’s so underplayed and yet it’s so important to successful business. Terms like ‘supply chain’ are only so much alienating jargon.”

"Barbara made business seem so relevant. And that made it immediately interesting to me. I really felt that I wanted to understand it better because it’s related to what I am doing"
