Let’s be honest. At first glance my resume does not look like an experience designer or a creative. I’m what you might call a creative imposter. I feed off the energy of collaboration and group dynamics, I try, and fail repeatedly, to create my own original designs but I do a pretty decent job with a mimic and innovate approach. I’ve been working in higher education for the past three years, and I have a degree in social change.
Adaptive? Check…I thrive on a steep learning curve, I’m quick to assimilate and easily relate.
Team Player? Check…I adjust to my team to help cultivate a high functioning environment and I’m your biggest fan when you need a pep-talk or inspiration. I’m easily excitable, full of energy, and obsessed with brainstorming.
What’s that you say? I sound like the other 80 million millennials working to enhance their career in a way that satisfies their altruism and personal passions?
Maybe.
But here’s the thing, I’m a devout believer in “fake it until you become it.” And right now, I’m helping people make better.
Better connections. Better systems. Better experiences. Better impact.
