10 tips for designers looking to go out on their own

I had a blast speaking to designers from across Ontario over the weekend at RGD’s Creative Directions conference held in Toronto. The youthful energy was infectious and I was blown away by the wonderful work being presented.

I was asked to give a talk on important things to consider for young professionals looking to start their own design business. I did my best to distill my entrepreneurial advice to 10 tips based on my own experience, but in reality, this list could have been 45 points long. There are tons of things that need to come together to make a successful design business—from good creative, to talented team members, to excellent customer service, continuous networking, efficient management and being smart with finances.

Starting a business can be one of the most fulfilling and exciting things you can do. It takes faith and it takes commitment. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are highs and lows, good times and bad. Times you want to jump for joy, and times you want to curl up into a ball. But like anything in life, you get what you put in!

I hope the following points act as a good starting point for anyone looking to make the leap from student (or employee) to entrepreneur.

1. Define why you want to go out on your own.

When it comes to starting a new business, we often talk about the how, and the what, as opposed to the why. Figuring out why you really want to start a business requires a bit of self reflection. Is it because you don’t feel fulfilled at your current job? Is it because you’re not doing the type of work you want to do? Is it because you feel you have such an innovative approach to design that starting your own business is the only right option for you? Are you looking for a more flexible schedule so you can spend more time with your kids, or traveling the globe?

If you’re looking to live the laptop lifestyle where you can set your own hours, work from wherever you want and only be held down by yourself and your clients, a solo freelance gig is likely the best choice for you.

On the other hand, if you’re looking to collaborate with others, bring on employees and/or partners and you’re looking to leverage the skills of others to grow your business, then a more structured business may be a better fit for you. This option obviously requires more management, accountability to others and diplomacy than the solo gig.

Both options are viable, but determining your motivations for starting a business will allow you to choose the best model to reach your goals.

2. Determine who else is doing what you want to do.

For two reasons mostly. Firstly, especially if you’re planning to service clients locally and/or regionally, you’ll need to know which companies you’re up against. What other options do clients have to explore in your area? What services do they offer? Who do they serve? How can you be better than them?

More importantly, determining who else is doing what you want to do can lead you to individuals who are willing to show you the way. Often times, especially if they’re not in direct competition with you, people are willing to help you out and share valuable advice with you. Entrepreneurs nearing the end of their careers are goldmines of knowledge and are generally willing to open up and give back. Early in my career I was lucky enough to be mentored by a former boss (newly retired, of course). Over the years he’s given me a treasure trove of advice which I continue to use to this day.

3. Define your strengths and weaknesses.

This step, if you want to do it correctly, requires digging deep and being honest with yourself. What are you really good at and what are you only okay at? In this exercise, defining your weaknesses is important. This allows you to outline what you need to improve, what you may want to avoid, and who you may want to add to your team (or subcontract) to help fill those voids.

4. Avoid being a generalist. Become a specialist.

In today’s increasingly competitive marketplace, clients are seeking out experts, and they’re willing to pay more for that expertise. Think about how we search online, for example. Our searches are hyper specific because we want to find the most fitting solution to our search as quickly as possible. We seek out the “best camera lenses”, “best boutique hotels in Toronto”, “best invoicing software”, “swift developers in San Francisco” because we want our immediate needs fulfilled by those who specialize in precisely what we’re looking for. Clients are willing to pay more for those they perceive to have a higher degree of knowledge or skill, because it will likely result in better service, a higher competitive edge and a bigger return on investment. Being great at something, is typically more attractive, and easier to sell than being okay at a whole bunch of things. There are only so many hours in a day and it is best to concentrate on what you’re great at. It’s okay to dabble in a whole bunch of things if that’s what you want to do, but it’s always easier for a prospective client to remember what you are great at, as opposed to trying to recall your laundry list of things you do from time to time.

*PS - I’m not suggesting you put “expert” next to your name. That just seems phony and self-absorbed. However, demonstrating a superior level of skill or knowledge in a particular subject based on your education and work experience will help position you as a leader.

5. Know who you’re trying to sell to.

This may seem simple enough, but it’s not. If your answer is everyone and anyone who needs marketing/design, then you’re probably looking too broadly and need to narrow in on more specific targets. Find your niche. Determine exactly who will be looking for your particular service, the type of work you want to do and those who will jive with your unique approach. Which companies are actively looking for what you offer and have recurring budgets dedicated to your types of services? Where are they located? Who are the decision makers? How old are they? What is their level of education? What are their behaviours and how can you reach them? Throwing a bottled message into the ocean and hoping someone picks it up on the other side is a surefire way for your message to fall on deaf ears. Make a list of those you want to work with, make contact and make sure you’ve got a good offer for them. Even if you only manage to get a small fraction of the clients on your list, at least they’ll be the ones you actually wanted to work with.

6. Partnerships are a lot like marriages. Choose wisely.

This may sound ominous, but it’s the truth. Much like any other long-term relationship (long-term friendship, dating, marriage etc), partnerships require a lot of work and communication. If you’re looking to bring on partners, you’ll want to choose someone you can trust, someone who is dependable and someone who is committed. It’s easy for people to be passionate at the start when things are hyped, but your business will hopefully last a long time, and will ultimately become your livelihood, so you’ll want to be certain you’ve chosen someone who is stable, in it for the long term and won’t flip the switch and negatively affect your business out of nowhere. I hear a lot of young designers mention that they’re hoping to start a business with a friend, or a fellow student, or a colleague seemingly without having known them for very long. Much like marriage, don’t rush into anything too quickly. Ensure you’ve known your potential partner long enough to know their true character, what their strengths and weaknesses are and how they react to stressful challenges.

7. Partnership/shareholder agreements are your friend.

So you’ve found the right partner that compliments your skills and is fully committed to your business. You’re off to a great start! Now, you’ll want to make it legal. A partnership/shareholder agreement outlines what’s expected of you and your partner(s), the consequences of not fulfilling your expectations, how to proceed if a partner wants out, or what happens if one of you are unable to perform your work due to illness or death.

A common mistake for green entrepreneurs is to defer drafting up agreements early on. The “we’ll deal with it later” mentality just may come back to haunt them. I mean, who wants to pay thousands of dollars right out of the gates to set up an agreement when there are so many other start-up costs to deal with?

In reality, there are several reasons why you should. Over time, life happens—people can get bored, start conflicting side projects that interfere with business, get offered other opportunities, become greedy, or start to get flaky and lazy.  It’s not all doom and gloom, but it’s a fact that things can change over time so you should prepare for the unexpected.

Once your company has built equity, your brand has enough good will attached to it and there is significant money in the bank, it’s much more difficult to work backwards to try and address organizational issues when the legalities weren’t laid out correctly in the first place. Add in a dose of emotion, angst and stress and you may be in for a doozy!

Setting up your legal structure correctly in the beginning will ensure you agree on how to run the business, where you’re headed and how you’ll get there. It’s a pressure cooker of commitment. You have to think long and hard before signing on the dotted line. If you’re all at the lawyers’ ready to sign, you can rest assured that you’re likely all truly committed.

8. Work for others first.

Now, I considered making this recommendation #1 because I believe it is of utmost importance. Starting your own company right out of school is not impossible, and there are anomalies who have become very successful with their first endeavour, but for the most part, working for others is crucial. This is where you learn how things are done—what works and what doesn’t, how to present to clients, what clients expect from client-agency(or supplier) relationships, how to manage a project, how to respond to RFPs, etc. I worked for a few different companies before starting my first business and it helped me realize how it all works and how I could do things differently.

9. Your first few projects will set the stage.

Be conscious and strategic about the first few projects you advertise under your new solo/business identity. It’s a common mistake to hastily throw a few projects together into a portfolio when a sudden opportunity presents itself so try and be prepared. First impressions stick, and your selection choices will communicate to your prospective clients what you’re all about, the type of work you want to do, and the quality of work you plan to do for them.

10. Have fun doing it.

No matter what you do in life, if you don’t love it, it’s going to be hard to keep pushing when things get tough. Especially in the early stages of building your business, you’ll be faced with significant challenges and you’ll have to be ready to work when others are resting, grind when your friends are out socializing and keep the faith in your vision if success comes slow. If you’re not having fun, the grind will wear you down. Whether you’re going it alone, or you’ve got partners or employees to help back you up, you have to keep it fun. You have to laugh, celebrate and embrace all the ups and downs of this crazy entrepreneurial life. Make sure you bring on people that nourish and inspire you so you can grow together and don’t forget to return the favour and celebrate them when they work hard and propel your business.

Running a business isn’t for the faint of heart, but at the end of the day there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing you did it all your own way.

Up Here reveals their full musical and mural programming

Sudbury’s favourite new urban art and music festival is back for its third edition from Aug. 18-20 in Downtown Sudbury.

Up Here is a public art festival that culminates in an emerging music festival with a tight integration of art installations throughout the city’s core. This year, two muralists and 12 local artists will create 14 new pieces of public art in the weeks leading up to the festival, and 30 of Canada’s best up-and-coming musical acts will perform in over 10 venues during the three-day event.

Two New Murals

Acclaimed Canadian artist Jarus will paint a portrait of a miner as an homage to his grandfather, who was a miner in Sudbury in the ‘60s and ‘70s, thanks to the support of Becker Mining Systems. Originally from Field, Franco-Ontarian Métis artist Mique Michelle will create a colourful piece inspired by her Anishinaabe roots thanks to the support of Collège Boréal.

Power Up Project

New this year, Up Here has formed a partnership with the Social Planning Council and Greater Sudbury Utilities to bring colour to 24 electrical utility boxes within the downtown core. In total, the Power Up Project will give canvasses to 24 local artists, including 12 curated by Up Here and 12 from youth organizations partnering with the Social Planning Council. The local artists invited by Up Here are Kallie Berens-Firth, Sonia Ekiyor-Katimi, Melanie Gail St-Pierre, Madison Kotyluk, Bianca Lefebvre, Matti Lehtelä, Scott Minor, Maty Ralph, Wild Rice, Hobby Rollin, Julianne Steedman, Dani Taillefer, and Isaac Weber.

“This project is a win-win for all of us. We get to empower youth, support the emerging local arts community, and participate in a global project that has swept cities across the globe from Brisbane to Los Angeles and Calgary. We’re excited to get this pilot project off the ground,” said Wendy Watson, director of communications, Greater Sudbury Utilities.

This project is made possible in part thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Over 30 Shows By Emerging Artists

Up Here is once again curating an ambitious musical program that cultivates the event’s signature sense of curiosity and discovery in festival goers. Over 30 up-and-coming artists will be performing in Sudbury during the event.

The Northern Series presented by Porter Airlines is back this year offering free concerts by emerging  musicians from Northern Ontario in small downtown venues between 5 and 7 p.m. Discover the ghost-tinged folk of Jennifer Holub, smoky reflections of Brian Dunn, indie-pop loops of Jamie Gia, and the jack-in-the-box dance music of BBBRTHR.

Friday Aug. 18

Friday’s acts include the eclectic and experimental Whoop-Szo, moog rockers Duchess Says, and unruly pop icons Deerhoof. 

Late night lineups include bubble-glam punks Fashionism and iconic garage rockers The Fleshtones at the Townehouse Tavern, presented by Stack Brewing, and noise dancers Eyeballs, mystic crooner Bernardino Femminielli, and the molecular pop duo Ice Cream at Little Montreal.

Saturday Aug. 19

Saturday’s Family Day returns with enhanced programming in Memorial Park and all around Downtown Sudbury. Taking the stage on Family Day: Sudbury’s own pop rockers Tofino, punk rockers The Ape-ettes, the Sudbury-born, female beatbox champion Sparx, and Mozambican electro-pop artist Samito will be sure to keep things cool on a warm day. 

Memorial Park will serve as the central playground with music, mini-murals, and other exciting children’s activities provided by the Carrefour francophone; vendors by local artists, artisans set up by Makers North, a gallery tour with the Downtown Sudbury Art Crawl; and a performance of Cello Steps, an interactive project that combines contemporary dance with classic music in a dance mob.

Later, younger audiences can also look forward to an all-ages punk show at Zigs presented by Ottawa Explosion featuring up-and-coming Sudbury punks Kommissars, Ottawa’s absurdo-punks DJ Smoke Weed Guy, Ottawa’s queer hardcore-punks Doxx, and the protopunk baristas Teenanger.

The Saturday night show begins with indie-electro purveyors Fevers, followed by feminist force Lido Pimienta, and the culture-clashing, noh-wave opera group Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. 

Nighthawks can head to the Townehouse and Zig’s after for late shows. The Townehouse features the riffs and thrifts of Dirty Princes, the quirky power pop of Dany Laj and the Looks, and a command performance by The Fleshtones presented by Stack Brewing. 

Meanwhile, Zig’s features local ‘90s dance inspired trio Telecolor and the smooth beats of Montreal based electronic artist CRi. 

Finally, late-night festival goers will be swayed by the exposed voice of Michele Nox backed by raw guitar and transcendent electronic swells.

Pop-Up Shows

The pop-up concerts have quickly become part of the festival’s nature and there will be many more this year thanks to the support of Downtown Sudbury. Festival goers will want to download the official Up Here app to make sure they don’t miss out on spontaneous shows on rooftops, underground chambers, and other unexpected locations. One of the groups that festival goers can expect to see pop up somewhere is DF, an audiovisual duo that merges looping saxophones with beautiful sound activated light installations

Sunday, Aug. 20

On Sunday afternoon, Dear Criminals, the indie-pop group from Montreal, will present 2GPU, a stunning augmented reality concert with 3D projections. The audience is invited to immerse themselves into the musical world of Dear Criminals with the help of complex imagery generated in real-time stereoscopic 3D. The project was developed by David Paquin and the New Media team at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue and is presented by the FME (Emerging Music Festival from Rouyn-Noranda).

Dear Criminals is two voices, one intense and strong, and one vulnerable and fragile, complementing each other in a unique and touching way. This vocal mixture is blended in a textured soundscape created by spellbinding arrangements and wisely chosen instrumentation, creating a musical tone deeply inspired by James Blake, Timber Timbre, and Elysian Fields.

Passports On Sale Now

Early Bird passports have already sold out and regular passports are available at UpHere.com for only $90. Individual tickets for concerts are on sale now.

Up Here has been able to thrive with the support of countless community organisations and businesses.

Music Can Reshape

We’ve been donating our time to a worthy cause lately. The Sudbury Action Centre for Youth offers at-risk, and less fortunate community members a safe and non-judgemental place to hang out, find housing & employment, access harm reduction services and much more.

Stephen Caruso donates his time to making SACY a little more musical and expressive. Week after week, he hauls his recording gear and musical instruments to the back hallway of the Youth drop-in to provide an outlet for the young musicians to create. The outcome is a second album which is being released on December 6th, 2014.

What Stephen had to say:

We all know music can change our mood, our personalities and even our ambitions. Music connects us, helps lift us when we are down and helps lead us when we feel lost. It motivates us and allows us to join together to create a collective sound that expresses our identities. It is also plain good ol’ fashion fun that everybody can relate to.

Here’s a sneak peek at the cover art that we designed for the album. Pick up your copy at sacyalbum.bandcamp.com and be sure to show the group some love on Facebook.

Raising the roof on Place des Arts

Once in a generation, a project comes along that mobilizes an entire community.

The idea for a shared art centre was first sparked in the 80's by many francophone arts organizations in Sudbury. The idea remained a murmur throughout the 90's and then picked up steam again around 2007. Today, almost a decade later, the dream of a new arts centre in downtown Sudbury is finally ready to break ground. We are thrilled to have been able to brand and market this exciting project.

Place des Arts brings together seven professional francophone arts organizations under one roof. It is a bistro, a 300 seat concert hall, an art gallery, a modern administrative work space, a cultural boutique and a multifunctional studio—all in Sudbury's downtown core 

Our Mission

Working closely with key stakeholders, we designed a simple and versatile brand for this ambitious project in order to create buzz and build community momentum. 

Our Challenges

The arts are intangible. The brand needed to be fairly versatile in order to act as an umbrella for the seven founding organizations and their dynamic range of programming. The brand also had to include a symbol that is independent of the name Place des Arts.

Our Concept

After exploring many directions, we settled on a unique concept that explores the architectural silhouette of the Place des Arts building designed by renowned architect Pierre Thibault as seen from the perspective of Elgin and Larch Street. 

The brand is simple and dynamic in order to keep the attention drawn on the seven organizations that will operate under the Place des Arts. The angled roof represents a bridge between communities: francophone and anglophone, artists and public, past and future.

Launch Campaign

We then strategized a social media driven launch campaign to help Place des Arts build community momentum leading up to important City council meetings.

Dynamic Website

Our next step was to craft a beautiful bilingual website to showcase their project and act as a sales tool to attract large donors. Custom built with subtle interactions, attractive imagery and all the latest technologies, the Place des Arts website includes a detailed overview of the facilities, architectural drawings and renderings, their achievements since 2007 and a clear call to action to get involved.

Place des Arts is a dream that many generations have longed for and we look forward to continuing to work with them throughout the next few years. Shovels will break ground in 2018 with an opening slated for 2020. It's always a pleasure to work with those looking to create positive change in our community and we're honoured to help them achieve their goal.

Who keeps saying downtown Sudbury is dead? That’s cute.
