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?
What did you talk to the
students about?
How to tap into the support networks - I had help from
the Prince's Youth Business Trust and Birmingham City Council
for instance. The long hours, the fact you have to put your
own life on hold to get things going, but also the great satisfaction
of successfully working for yourself. I wanted to support
and encourage people. I was also I suppose, a role model:
a young, self-employed businesswoman.
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?
