Ric Frampton has been working as a designer for the best part of 20 years. He’s worked at 2 of the leading furniture manufacturers in the UK and in 2018 he took the plunge and begin his own design consultancy.
I’ve known Ric a long time and I’m excited to talk about his journey. Hopefully we can take some tips on a successful design career and starting your own business.
I’m Kieron Bakewell, the host and founder of Work In Design. I’ve worked as a designer since 2003. In 2005 I co-founded the furniture company naughtone. My skills and passions are predominantly in design, although I have picked up business skills along the way!

During 2020 in my role as design director at naughtone, I was prompted to look at the diversity within the design department at naughtone. Ultimately it was not a diverse group. I did not consider this intentional, rather a more accurate representation of those actually applying for roles in design. This got me thinking more broadly about how anyone finds their way into design careers?
Working in design has been immensely rewarding for me on so many levels. The people, travel, challenges and feeling like you can make a change and contribute in a meaningful way.
If I can, I’d now like to help others find their way into and enjoy this fantastic vocation. Hopefully they’ll help solve tomorrow’s problems along the way.
