whats a designer to do?

13. November 2009 by justdanika.

I can’t keep ignoring it…I have to think about what I want to do come June.

Maybe a better question is what am I qualified to do? What job title can I have? What value add does my background have to a potential employee? What values do I have as a designer have around what I want to do?

Is potential enough?

I want to be Genevieve Bell .

My criteria:

• I do not want to spend 8 hours a day behind a desk doing CAD, but I wouldn’t mind doing it once in a while.
• I want to work somewhere that I can have impact.
• I want to help the customers as well as the employees I work along side to have better days.
• I want to work for a company that recognizes my talents, actually see them as talents, and then utilize them.
• I want to work alongside people I can learn from.

What do I want to do?

I want to work with organizations to improve process, help companies see the customer at the end of the tunnel, and give employees the power and respect they deserve… A company can only be as great as it’s employees and I want those people to go home as satisfied and proud as the customers should when they take home their products.

It is holistic but it is important to design, innovation and creation.
