Starting Out in ID - Interior Design Episode 7
Listen now
Description
It’s the ending of a season, but also a great chance to get a little more understanding around what someone could expect moving into a new career in the industry. Matt Leach is talking to Andrew Jones, a freelance designer based in Launceston, specialising in exhibition, interior and branded space and 3D visualisations. Andrew’s had an amazing career for over 30 years, working across the whole east coast of Australia, from Brisbane to Melbourne, starting in Hobart. He’s particularly known for his joinery and fittings, and especially recognised for his exhibit design. Matt and I were interested to talk to Andrew and get his take on what he'd do if he were a graduating student these days, or toying with the idea of a career change. How would he find a job, what he would put in his portfolio, and what sort of advice he’d have for you when going out there to find your first work? You might be looking for that perfect entry-level role, either locally or interstate, or, on the other hand, thinking of starting up something on your own in a freelance business working with multiple studios or clients. Whatever it is…. Andrew has some great advice for you on how you might set yourself up and start looking.
