In an industry that celebrates greatness from within the ranks of design creatives across the country, we don’t always do the best job cultivating new talent. Sometimes it starts by simply showcasing a new creative, even if they don’t happen to be new to business. Designer as second career is one of the most popular ways many arrive, but in many ways the challenge to succeed is greater for younger designers who are new to design as opposed to those who are more mature.
