problem
no market validation
no moneyStarting off most designers cannot invest in collections and their displays
There is no feedback until your product is in the hands of the consumer
no good visibilityIts a crowded space with a lot of noise. Standing out is tough.
for designers no experienceMost design schools don’t teach you yet how to start a business, promoteyourself, get customers.
no networkBeing an independent designer doesn’t open doors with logistics and payment partners.
