But it is important for any fresh designer to be aware of whom they cater to. You need to know your niche market.

Being in this field you must explore and communicate. Being observant is also a quality. The best way you could do this is by taking up a job as a salesperson at a store in a mall, which is a cluster of many brands & labels.

Being a part of any store in a mall gives you free communication with diverse clientele, you would know their budgets and spending capacity, the introduction of the real market, a chance of improvement in marketing & communication skills, you would be able to work on color schemes and consumer behavior.

This job will give you a heads up on how a designer works, and you'll gain experience on the working of it too.
