Tim Gautrey speaks to designerati
#designernewtalent
designerati (the digital version of Designer Magazine) recently spoke with Tim Gautrey as part of their #designernewtalent series.
The series reaches out to young and new designers to discover the challenges they have faced getting their careers off the ground and the experience so far.
Tim shared his journey into design and what he thinks is lacking in the way the industry attracts new talent to a career in design.
Some of the questions included:
What made you want to become a designer?
What route did you take to kickstarting your career and at what age?
What do you feel would attract more new talent to the industry?What’s been key to your success?
…critiquing work with peers helps keep you on track, and make you think a little smarter — knowing that you won’t always get it right, things will fail, and you might not completely agree with the design solution are all good lessons. But, at the end of the day, ensuring the work is easy to grasp and the solution solves the problem with a tangible outcome is what it’s all about. In short, it’s about having a real integrity in what you do.
