Advice for a young designer joining a start-up as the only designer

    Don't do it. Young Designer + Only Designer + Start Up = abuse.

    Young designers should have bosses and co-workers. While I haven't been the only designer, I've been the only developer and its tough. When its a 1-person team to create, cultivate, defend and persuade others in design it becomes a very tiring and trying exercise in futility.

    The opposite is that its awesome. But if it were awesome I'd imagine they wouldn't have one designer, and wouldn't be hiring a Junior to be the only designer.

      "Don't do it. Young Designer + Only Designer + Start Up = abuse." I've seen this too many times.
