design strategy

 As I do a lot of multidisciplinary design, I would like to find a studio that does different approaches to design. That would be really quite nice, seeing as I specify somewhat in type layout and sometimes design. Having a place that does that and not being purely type or web design would be ideal. It is somewhat niche because I don’t wanna work in a design studio that only does one thing. I don’t think I have it to do type all day long, every day either. 

I like to change and mould whatever I do into something that both works for the client and for my practice. Even though I haven’t promoted myself as a freelance studio, I still get inquiries about doing work for people who say that it should be quite appealing to people. 

Seeing as in the end I would like to live and work back home in Norway, I have reached out to more Norwegian companies. The likelihood of them answering is less but therefore need a wider pool of possible studios to email. I think the best way forward is to get a graduate or do you need to sign a job in a studio that allows me to excel and learn more but I am also fully aware that that’s what everyone else wants as well pretty much unless they wanna go freelance or do something completely different.

I think the perk of me is if I stay here I am bilingual and communicate in any Scandinavian language without an issue of her being in no way or anyone else is that I studied in the UK seeing as I’ve got a couple of connections here that they might not have but also know a bit more about how it could be quite handy in that I know about the society and have a high degree as I spent three years here isolated from like anything but British people I feel except for a couple international students so in terms like marketing and connections I should have a quite a sale once was I know a fair few people back home that does do creative stuff I talked to the careers portal and they have said that I could work in the London Embassy possibly as a translator and like helping people like it with passport issues and whatnot I think that be quite nice not gonna lie at least for a bit so I am not going to rule it out just yet she also said that I could do typing manuals and stuff but I’m dyslexic so that’s just not gonna work out well I think I’m quite good at what I do I learn quite quickly and I am quite good at adapting and I therefore think I could be able to learn pretty much anything of real put my mind to it because I’m stubborn but I’m aware of it so that helps a bit I guess. 

But my ideal situation will be getting a studio job soon as possible, stay in the UK for a couple years work here and then move back home and get a job there because I don’t think I’m ready to go back home just yet. I just don’t know how I’ll be able to stay.

I have worked the last couple of weeks on creating a brand. I re-did my redone logo for my studio name I made a CV that I submitted to the careers portal for review I have made a website or Facebook page I refine it to my Instagram asked if anyone wanted to work with me, they have many possible options of where to find me also I’ve started thinking about maybe doing a tick-tock thing that seems like an interesting way about it if I could do some fun type layout situations or like animations that be really cool and there.

I have worked on branching out and have got in contact with a slightly broader range of people such as this furniture designer and we have been talking about doing something as my skills could help him out. 

The arena is a service for 2021 graduates to help us out by 2020 graduates that have managed to go out in the industry.
