Fashion Designers Get Paid: Build Your Fashion Career On Your Own Terms

SFD 003: How to Ask for (and Get) a Promotion in Fashion with Brian McIntyre


Listen Later

Brian didn't even discover that he had an interest in fashion until high school, and then he dove head first in. Four years later armed with a degree, he avoided design jobs due to his lack of proficiency in Adobe Illustrator. He finally got an opportunity he couldn't pass up, so "lied" about his AI skills in the interview and landed the job. He "faked it till he made it" and frantically got up to speed in the software. Since then, he's used his skills, drive and determination to advance his fashion career and get promoted within his first year as a designer.

YOU WILL LEARN

  • How curiosity can drive you to success
  • Why you have to ask for what you want (or else you probably won't get it)
  • Why it's ok to not keep up with everything that's going on in the industry
  • How to approach your boss (or your boss' boss) to get the promotion you want
  • Why defending your designs and perspective is crucial
  • What it's like working for small vs. large brands
