The Business of Design: Balancing Creativity and Profitability Kindle Edition

I 100% recommend it

Great book and very informative take on starting and running a design firm. If you’re interested in this topic, I think you’ll like it. We’ll written and easy to read!

Such a great book for anybody starting their company.

As an architect outside of the US, this book gives me a clear picture of how an architectural practice is in the US. I like how ideas and basic managerial aspects of an architectural firm is shown here. Also, this book is clearly aimed to us in this industry - the packaging and page layouts of this book are very well designed. Lastly, I think the interviews with some of the popular architects add great insight.I do expected more information but at the price of this book, it'll suffice! I guess I just wanted to learn more.

Awesome book, I'm 35 years old architect and I'm trying to figure out if I should go on my own, this book will clear a lot of doubts in your path

I wish I had this book earlier in life!!! It effectively delineates the design business and how to handle certain situations in the profession. I strongly recommend this book to anyone in the design/consulting business. It is a nice read from cover to cover or a nice reference book for anyone in the profession.//Chuck

This book is a good reminder for things most savvy business owners already practice. I think it’s most helpful for a very young architecture firm that has not developed a business model yet.

I appreciate how thorough and concise this book is. Keith Granat was able to distill 30 years of experience into a clear and easy to read book. All of the visual aids were extremely helpful in illustrating his points. Well done!

Very good for just graduate designers, much less for a 3-4 years experienced designer.I would like a vol.2 with a more detailed focus on product/industrial design.

Designer's are usually good at design but don't know much how to structure their business of design which is uber important to build a viable business, make money and keep doing for a long time

Informative !

Well presented references

Um excelente guia e fonte de consulta para designers e arquitetos com qualquer nível de experiência.Minha única sugestão de melhoria: a versão digital merece imagens com maior definição.
