Generally, a young designer who approaches the reality of the profession is not forced to wait for a company to give him a direct assignment but can, on his own initiative, come forward proposing new projects.

However, he must have clear ideas and first of all identify his fields of interest and the sector in which he wishes to enter and then which companies he would like to collaborate with. He needs to develop a particular sensitivity to understand the different philosophies of the companies he is considering and to perceive the "gaps" within the existing collections.
