Can you elaborate on how the freelancing opportunity is so crucial for designers?
Today's young people are different because they understand that if you start your own business or you are a freelancer or work for a small studio then you can not only work but can do projects for Microsoft, pepsi, google, facebook, snapchat, etc. So, the advantage of being an entrepreneur or freelancer is that you can choose the kind of projects that you are working in. You can develop yourself in the direction in that you want to go. You may want to take something which is more sustainable, you may want to work on projects which are more international in nature. So, you can choose your clients and can develop in that direction. The other advantage of freelancing or being an entrepreneur is that you can collaborate with the best in the world so you don't have to be working in a company with the best graphic designer, the best interiors person, you can find the best graphic designer who may be sitting in Spain and you can work with somebody who is doing a user experience and he may be in Hyderabad so design really allows you to do that and of course your client may be sitting in San Francisco.
