Getting Personal Projects Made by Anton Repponen & Irene Pereyra

About this video

Description

Nearly every designer after a few years of working for a studio, begins to think about starting his or her own business. Wouldn't it be nice to have a fancy office, work only on the projects that you like, without having to sell your soul to the devilish client and compromise when amending designs? But reality is more complex than that and definitely less romantic. Anton Repponen and Irene Pereyra of the eponymous design studio "Anton Irene" will talk about transforming a small studio into a project (we think of our studio more like a "project" rather than a "business") and will share their experience including all the successes and failures they went through along the way.
