Creative Future - Elliott Bliss

What am I doing with my life?

A quest to progress

     The following are several creative goals I have placed for myself in order to achieve my dream of becoming a creative thinker, a creative influence, and most of all, a creative industrial designer.

Goals to be accomplished within 10 years

   Receive an MFA in Products of Design

   Never cease to be working on a project

   Be working for an industrial design firm

   Be involved in classes in order to learn new skills

   Have a website with an up-to-date portfolio

Starting now, how will I get there?

   Apply to BYU

   Get into the industrial design program at BYU

   Build a portfolio

   Make connections

   Faculty

   Employers

   Colleagues

   Be honest and hardworking

   Put more work into projects than my peers

   Be innovative / think beyond

   Constantly be looking for inspiration

   Always accept offers and jobs


     The preceding list of goals and actions is my plan-of-action to successfully become an employed  industrial designer.  The most challenging part in achieving this, I believe, lies in securing a job at a design firm.  As long as I am actively engaged in my schooling and training, I believe I should be able to gain the skills required to get a job.  The other half of the battle is having the right connections.  As I attend college I will strive to make positive connections with my professors as well as my colleagues and employers.


     With these plans in place, I believe that if I put in the hard work, I will be able to achieve my dream of becoming an industrial designer.
