Hi Alexis, please tell me what you think? …

My story is not that much different to an other person who’s being in the working world.

I studied Graphic Design and graduated afte 3 years with a National Diploma.
Got my first job as a clothing label designer … ok ok… it wasnt as fab as that sentence just sounded. In fact, it was pretty horrible.

Then I got a job as a designer for a top notch property company … again, not as fab. But met some fab people there

Next I got a job at a magazine company … a travel magazine … starting to see the ‘fab’ pattern yet? Yep! the dream job I thought turned into a nightmare.
I’m a hard worker with passion for values in the workplace. Some thought that threatening whilst others embraced it… which leads me to my next job… a book designer, and for once I can say Yep! it IS a fab job! But at the same time I have to say that freelancing never attracted me … until now.

My motivation is simple: find what you love and are good at, and never give up on it.

I love book design (never actually knew that until today), but I love my family alot more. Spending time with them; my own quiet time … are all my motivations to find my true career.
I love finding smarter/ innovative ways of working, and I love the team I work in now. They are part of my motivation and my platform to practice everything I learn in theory.
These are some of our 21st century workplace values… innovation, and autonomy. I’d like to be one of those leaders to help drive this. I envision better visuals for talk on these values, because as much as the theory behind something counts, so too does the visual element count thats the designer talking). People like and embrace pretty things (look at APPLE MAC) so too should your visuals and appearances rise to the same value as the theory.
Success to me is as Winston Churchill puts it: “Success is not final; Failure is not fatal. Its the courage to continue that counts”.
Courage to continue… I like that

Cheers! =)
