<p>There is quite a lot of work in the world of design. Most set designers have begun to branch out and do quite a lot of work in other fields where there expertise in creating spaces (not rooms, not buildings, but “spaces”) has been used in video game design, production design, theme park design, etc. While I am primarily a set and lighting designer, there is a move afoot that places design front and center in many projects. And some of this is being spurred on by current theatrical designers. I would invite you to look at [5D</a> | The Future of Immersive Design](<a href=“http://5dconference.com/]5D”>http://5dconference.com/)</p>
<p>Finally, if you are worried about work. There is plenty. But the hours are long, and the job is very difficult. It’s like anything else in the art world. You don’t do it because there is money to be made. You do it because it’s the one thing in the world you can’t imagine being without. I get to wake up every day, imagine a world, put it on paper and watch it come to life on stage. I get to do that as part of a collaborative group of artists. What more can anyone ask out of life?</p>
