2. When did you set LKTdesign Ltd up?
January 2008

3. How did Your Business Start?
After graduating it was so difficult to break into the industry as a junior designer ­ far too many people graduating at the same time made this an almost impossible task and I wanted more out of what I had studied a long time for. After working for other people for so many years, it was becoming tiresome ­ I wanted to work for myself. I had so many ideas written down that at the time it was a decision that looked like it could either work for me, or against me but the only way I was going to find out was to bite the bullet and
try it ­ and here I am many years down the line running a business I absolutely love ­ I wouldn¹t swap it for the world!


4. Why did you set up LKTdesign?
Tallies in with answer above

5. How many employee¹s are there in LKTdesign and who are they?
Just me; sometimes when work gets too much I out source.


6. How did you decide on your business name?
The business name is me; the business is mine, created from scratch so it is my initials




7. What¹s the best thing about LKTdesign?
The freedom and my clients; I thoroughly enjoy the world you soon become accustomed to ­ the community bubble of people who you need, but who also needs you and your skills/experience ­ without them I would be lost! It¹s amazing when you first start out, you worry that nobody will ever come to you because you¹re afraid that they¹ll find someone else on their way to finding you ­ but that¹s rarely the case ­ everyone
needs everybody and in business it is vital!


8. What do you find most challenging about your business?

Everyday is a challenge especially in the world we currently live in but this is what business is about ­ you have to bite the bullet and work your way through. There is
always a light at the end of the tunnel.


9. What have been some of the greatest rewards from your business?
See answer below plus meeting up with different people and learning about each of their backgrounds. You can never make too many business associates ­ you need them and they need you.




10. What¹s the best thing LKTdesign gives to its customers?
Making them a success in terms of their branding. Seeing a brand which I have designed or a website which I have designed, built and develop become a success is a great feeling and seeing clients succeed is just amazing.


11. Do you have any top tips for choosing a designer?
See answer below


12. What three pieces of advice would you give to anyone who wants to run their own business?
Couldn¹t possibly pick just three pieces of advice but what I will say is always research your field, make a list of questions both for and against and tick those boxes ­ never leave blanks! Obtain as much professional help as possible, there are always people available who can help you - no matter what you on stuck on. And never ever be afraid. If you¹re afraid then you¹re not a one for leading a business ­ you need to be strong headed!
