Dream of running design studio

Running a design studio had been my dream for many years, even when I had no resources or connections. Now, with abundant experience, resources, and networks, I no longer feel the desire to pursue it.

On reflection, there are two main reasons. First, I find communicating and co-creating with clients exhausting, even though it can sometimes be wonderful experience. Second, running a design studio is not particularly profitable - unless one reaches the very top of the industry.

开一个设计工作室,在过去很多年都是我的一个理想或者梦想;即使,那时候没有资源、没有人脉。 现在,外在条件齐备了很多,设计经验、资源、人脉都很丰富了。但却没有想做设计工作室的想法了。 细想,主要两个原因。其一,对于与客户沟通/共创感到厌烦,尽管有时也是一种美妙的体验;其二,做设计工作室也不是那么赚钱,如果不是做到行业顶尖的话。
