Interview with Patricia Dixon, textile designer and lecturer Age 32. Comes from London.

Has your career followed a set plan?
So you set up your own company?
How did you get involved in education?
I was asked to speak at a university and that led me into doing some visiting lecturing at colleges around the UK. With so many art and design students wanting to work on their own I felt it was really important that they heard first-hand about the challenges of setting up and running your own business.
What did you talk to the students about?
And gradually, the teaching became more important?
How do you manage to teach and to do your own work?
What do you like most about your working life?
Any advice for young people on the brink of their careers?
Lastly, do you look forward to going to work every day?
