I think of design as applied experimentation. To prototype ideas, build things, visit a foreign land, to be curious about everything is to set yourself up for the possibility of discovering new solutions to the world's problems.
In fact, I want to be what Buckminster Fuller called a 'comprehensivist'. For now, I consider myself good at one thing, giving form and behavior to objects, but able to interface with many other disciplines.
So, if you think you can use a person like this, I'm looking for opportunities to learn and apply myself.
