In this live conversation on the business of design, Chris Do and Jose Caballer discuss how designers can get paid outside of traditional compensation models. They share their personal experience, discuss how equity (owning a portion of your client’s company) can impact a practice’s financial growth, and how designers should expand beyond products and services into “Venture Design,” where they reap direct benefits from their talent through partnership and shared growth.
