As someone who has explored various areas of the Design industry, including Digital, Email, Graphic, Editorial, and currently Product, I believe that the most accurate way to name my profession is simply "Designer." To me, Design is a mindset that allows for easy adaptation into any specialization, with the methods to learn and adapt seamlessly into new design contexts.

I owe this comprehensive and broad perspective to the different design jobs and education experiences I have had. This mindset leads me to think outside the box and be on the lookout for topics, ideas, or learning experiences that may not match my current profession at first glance. But with the Design mindset, I can connect these seemingly unrelated topics to my daily work.

Currently, my focus is on Product Design, which was a detour from my mostly Graphic Design past. I decided to stick to this area because it indulges the more structured and methodical side of my personality. Unlike Graphic Design, Product Design takes on the entire project from beginning to end, allowing me to bring both my creative and research-oriented selves to the table.
