After reading about the different designers, the various ways they work, the different places they work, and the varying sizes of design teams, I must admit, it excites me. However, it also overwhelms me a bit, to be honest. I love the idea of having choices and I'm excited that there are so many different paths to explore with a background in design. Yet, it overwhelms me because I'm the type of person who wants to try and do it all! I just want to learn everything. So, I know I'll have to take a leap and choose whether to go to an in-house position or to a small versus large design agency.
I could really relate to Albert Hicks IV, who works as a designer at WAX Studios. I am currently working at a small studio where the team is small, allowing me to form really great friendships with the people I work with. I also have multiple responsibilities, and I do enjoy it. However, the idea of spreading my wings and trying out new things intrigues me. Similarly, Holly Gressley, Principal Designer at Vox Media, works on one major project with a team that focuses on developing that one project, allowing for the development of specific skills rather than just having a superficial knowledge of multiple things. It's certainly a lot to think about.
