A day in the life of Red Setter founder Claire Blyth
On running a design PR agency, podcasting and campaigning for creative education.
In their own words
Human connection still matters more than ever.
Design needs a stronger voice in business.
Come into the industry with energy and great ideas, and you'll be welcomed with open arms. It's about mindset, not age.
You need the credibility of the media to get people's attention.
Instead of you saying you're brilliant, someone else is saying it, and people are much more likely to believe it.
Editors are busy, so get straight to the point and avoid industry speak.
