Designing Your Future: Should You Launch Your Own Firm?

Why do designers go out on their own? What drives them to leave a secure job and take the risk? Is launching a firm fueled by courage, ambition, or something else entirely? And, more importantly, are the rewards worth the challenges? Three designers—Tara McCauley, Michael Capuano, and Claire Ratliff of Henry Street Design—share their experiences in leaving prestigious firms, discuss their motivations, tell how they secured their first clients, and reveal the biggest hurdles they've encountered.
