What’s the best and worst thing about being a graphic designer in Brooklyn?
The best thing is that there is so much to do. There is always a design or illustration event to go to and you’ll always run into people you know there. It feels almost small-town-ish, in that I can show up to an event alone and know that there will be someone there that I know and can talk to. It’s pretty hard to say what the worst thing is, because I feel like this city is the perfect place to be a designer or illustrator. Because there are so many designers here, the competition for work is very high, which can be great if you work for yourself or if you have enough chops to get a good job here, but it can be harder to stand out as a young designer for that reason too.
