Keith Granet Talks Transitions with Michael Booth and Douglas Durkin

::SPOT LIGHT::

Design San Francisco 2012
Feb 2, 2012
10:00 – 11:00 AM
SFDC Galleria Atrium

Join Keith Granet, founder of Granet & Associates and co-founder of the Design Leadership Summit, as he interviews Michael Booth, co-founder of BAMO, and Douglas Durkin, founder of Douglas Durkin Design. Keith, Michael and Douglas all started their careers working for other firms large and small before taking the leap and starting their own firms. “I learned a lot working for other people for many years,” says Douglas. “So I think I avoided some of those inherent growing pains.” Do you have the desire to go out on your own? Join the conversation … maybe now’s the time for you to take that leap of faith.

About Keith Granet – Keith Granet formed Granet & Associates to provide financial and organizational management services to the design industry. Keith began his career at the respected firm Gensler, where he reported directly to Arthur Gensler. After eight years at Gensler, Keith founded Granet and Associates in 1991. Over the last 20 years, the firm has had the privilege of working for some of the most respected design firms in the country. With offices in New York and Los Angeles, the firm is devoted to improving the business of design. Keith’s new book The Business of Design: Balancing Creativity and Profitability was just released by Princeton Architectural Press.
