Dialogues with designers [English]

A simple format to understand complex problems regarding management in design studios.

What is it about? It’s the process of a conversation whose lead characters are graphic designers (Soledad and Pablo) who form a partnership and create a design studio to start working together.

The dialogues are fictitious, but truly represent the concerns in most designers (not only graphic designers) when they face situations and problematic issues of daily management within their studios and/or projects.

The purpose of these dialogues is to assist creative professionals that have just started cruising the experience of working in their own studio to identify and administrate their daily problems in management to achieve the amount of success they wish to obtain.
