MY FUTURE
Industrial market
Because of our geographic location, Manitoba's design opportunities are fairly industrial. Design work is very different than in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal where there is more emphasis on high concept artistic approaches.
Employers here aren't trying to get their work into international design competitions; they need practical, accessible solutions. I'm okay with that because I have my own business to do higher concept work. My family is here and I like Manitoba so I'm focused on this market.
