"How do you do it?" is a website that tells stories about the life, surroundings and
work settings of several designers and the associated philosophies. It explores
the sociological characteristics, which bring the job of the designer — work and
life balance under the pressure to develop creative ideas. How is it possible not
to turn into a workaholic or what requirements are necessary to do a good job
and still keep the personal freedom? The purpose is to give students, young
and also seasoned designers the opportunity to see how independently working
designers are doing it, to find out how and what they want to do for themselves
and if there are differences between the countries. For this aim to be achieved
I am interviewing various designers in different cities and countries, to publish
the results in form of videos on the How do you do it - website. It started in
Barcelona, Hamburg and Berlin. The project will be continued and extended to
other cities and countries in the future. This project is a student work and was
created for the bachelor thesis. Videos, Flyer, Postcards, Website.
