The Designer’s Necessity

• Business cards are must haves. You should carry at least 20 of them daily.
• Carry your portfolio with you in your car. It makes for easy references in a pinch. (You never where your next client will turn up)
• Most recent issues of Design Magazines make for quick inspiration. (Not a bad way to pass time either)
• Measuring tape
• Paint and color swatches
• Wallpaper, and carpet sample books. Keep them in your car.
• A copy of your certifiable credentials (if applicable)
