素養(yǎng)視角:職業(yè)發(fā)展
I moved to this new country as a foreigner when I was still a teenager. The adjustment to a new place was difficult. But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art.
Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while at school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said “Think about the future”, I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.
I was admitted into industrial design. Its basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical? or? something? more? related? to? problem?solving. It was no easy task to do the course, including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question: “Wow! Do I really want to do this?” But I finally survived the course.
Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.
Throughout my career, Ive picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, and therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all?round person.
