So I work for Groupon in sales, but haven’t been in the working world for a long time since I just graduated college. I’ve been thinking about career choice and while I am good at sales, what really interests me is product design. buuuut I have absolutely no clue how to even research information about getting into this industry. I would love to be able to design sports equipment, apparel, shoes, or basically anything else etc... so maybe that is something in the fashion industry opposed to design? Just looking for a little guidance or tips from people who are more knowledgeable
The best bet is going to a design school and then going the brand design career path. Pay will be shit though, and work culture can be brutal.
