Why & What is 'Financed By Design'? Simply 1. To inform my peers of the need for Financial Literacy 2. My Design Portfolio Finance: 'Compound interest. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it' - Albert Einstein (reportedly) I've always seen my dad collect rent from his tenants & thought to myself, 'what a way to earn money'. Could there be a way to earn money though? Design: 'Design without thinking is Art. Art doesn't always pay the bills' - Me I've always loved design. However I didn't think that design could earn me money but right now, I would rather follow my passion than be miserable while being stuck in a lab & coat.
