Production Lines
I’m wandering outside of my comfort zone as a designer. I love one-of-a-kind couture design work & client commissions. The mass production process leaves me quite bewildered. Yet, it seems that most business grants, lenders & private investors are aimed at mass production lines or a mix of custom/production (presumed higher return). So, what’s a designer to do?
While I’d rather do solely original designs & commissions for clients, greater versatility means more opportunities for revenue long term. That is definitely worth consideration. I’ll weigh my options carefully, after doing a good bit of research. I’d consider doing both, but I could never give up custom couture design & being an artisan. It’s what I do & love.
