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.
