Today’s D.Cast is a discussion about starting up. Design businesses start for a variety of reasons – opportunity, economics, ambition, adversity –  and I’m sure that there are many out there who have considered or are considering starting their own gig. Today we’ll share some insights from four partners from two businesses discussing their experiences and learning. We’ll cover from conception and planning to some more pragmatic topics like setting up a studio. 
 
Hosted by Gideon Keith FDINZ and Ryan Ward PDINZ

 
Guests: Oliver McDermott, PDINZ and Ben Thomson, DINZ from Blender
Noel Blackwell, FDINZ and Damian Alexander form LIKEMINDS


 
Building Capability: Overarching Purpose of this D.Cast Series
 
The Business of Design D.Cast is a discussion about running a design business or design in a business. We’re looking at a range of subjects but covering a single theme for each episode. We’re looking for insights, experience and anecdotes to share with the audience and we’ve prepared the questions below as thought/discussion starters. However, It’s less an interview and more a discussion. Hosted by Gideon Keith FDINZ and Ryan Ward PDINZ.
