Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
As a product, clothing or related designer, you’ll use your creative and technical skills to design new pieces or improve existing items. Learn more about a career in product, clothing and related design, find out what it involves and what you’ll need to study and do to get a role.
The design world can be very competitive so you might use your first job to learn more about computer software and expand your product, clothing or related design knowledge.
With experience you could work on bigger projects. This will help you progress to a senior designer role and then to head of department or director.
If you’re self-employed, you’ll need to build up a network of contacts, promoting yourself and developing your skills. Organisations like The Design Trust, Crafts Council and the British Fashion Council offer resources and training opportunities.
Once you’re an experienced designer there may be opportunities to work abroad, or you might decide to start your own design company.
You could explore a management role such as project manager or you might move into another aspect of the business such as marketing or sales.
Professional organisations you might want to join include The Chartered Society of Designers (CSD), The British Fashion Council or the Society of British Theatre Designers (SBTD).
