D.I.Y. ID: Indie Designers on the Rise by Jeannie Choe
The rising profile of design is creating new demand and, predictably, more supply. But it's also creating new opportunities for designers themselves, especially those fresh-out. Indeed, one could argue that there has never been a more opportune time for young designers to snub the norm, and to pursue trajectories that challenge the definition of design and design practice.

With independence comes freedom and with freedom comes responsibility. What an independent design ethic offers that matters most is to design what is right. Independence is a freedom to impose constraints that matter, rather than have mainstream/ corporate/ financial constraints imposed onto something that doesn't.
