More than a third of art and design graduates are out of work, report shows

I graduated in 2001, but unfortunately never managed to become the next Philippe Starke as I had dreamed for so many years. While I have managed to become successful in business in part by utilising the transferable skills I gained while studying design (problem solving etc.), it still irks me that so much raw talent is going to waste each year in the UK. This is one of the reasons why my new business is Partumis aims to give new designers a chance to showcase their talent to the world, while earning money and seeing their designs brought to life. We need to nurture what we have before it’s too late and UK design goes the way of UK manufacturing.
