Description

Working with Design Clients is one of the most valuable resources for students to develop their professional design practice skills. This practical guide provides insights into working on real-life briefs in the design studio—including how to collaborate with and connect to communities, find and retain clients, and manage real-world design problems.

Utilising tools and frameworks based on years of research and experience, the book is divided into four sections:

Why: industry connections, experiential learning, personal empowerment
What: engaging with communities, client work, structure
Who: work roles, client relationships, articulating value
How: launching, logistics, planning

The final section of the book provides information for those expanding into student-led studios. It includes strategies, financing, and insights on how to plan for the future.

Supported by case studies and interviews, this is an essential guide for students and instructors alike to engage with real projects and clients effectively.
