002 - Current State
This graphic sums it up. Everything that I'm loosely thinking about and grappling with as a designer.
Over the past week, I had a job interview (same company), but ended up dusting off my previous resumé brochure… which is actually a big drawing that maps out my career. It details snippets of my life, interests and jobs over the years.
In both the resumé and my digital portfolio, I used the same two themes: Visual Thinking and People. After the interview, I thought about how everything has been evolving since presenting my work two years ago.
I ended up creating a bigger “current state” graphic, adding a few more themes… including the idea of designers “dreaming out loud” and building a culture through transparency, strong customer-backed design rationale, and shared principles.

Thanks and hope that you’re well out there.
