Niche or Nietzsche?

1)  What do you consider to be your medium, style, and services of choice?  Describe why you feel that is the case.

My design medium is experience design. Although it can be in a digital form my style is an immersive interactive experience design within physical space.


2)  Conduct some research and identify and target potential clients and partners you hope to work within the future.  Provide links and write a few details about why you choose those individuals, companies, etc.

Meowwolf
Museums in general
Digital Art Museum Tokyo
Events
Festivals
Hotels ex. Las Vegas


3)  What common frustrations or needs do your services or products address?  
     How does your business solve a problem or find a solution for your customers? In particular, do you solve problems that nobody else can? Through your research create a list of the kinds of problems you are most interested in addressing after you graduate with some details as to why that is the case from both a skill and interest point-of-view.  


Within all spaces, there is a narrative, when an individual is immersed within the space, this can be a negative or positive experience. The narrative within a space has the ability to create a valuable interaction creating a learning experience. As a designer my Niche will be to solve problems and create particular unique experiences in order to produce specific thoughts and feelings within a space, event or moment.


4)  Conduct a bit of secondary research to see just how competitive your chosen market is.  Create a list of links with short sentences describing how competitors are approaching their niche to address the kinds of problems that interest you. 

My competitors are approaching their Niche of being an immersive experience designer by creating art spaces that involve their users within a space creating specific feelings, creating a space that is intuitive but not interactive. The problem that I would like to solve that would differ me from my competitors is complete research of who the demographic of the space is, how they operate, how to make a space intuitively interactive and more.

When do I feel most powerful?

I feel most powerful when people that I respect within the art industry know who I am when I am talking to people that I respect and value their insight, and admire and I am being treated as if I am at the same level. I also feel powerful when I am managing people and having them ask me a question as well as reporting to me. I feel powerful when my passions having an outlet where I can produce and involve people within my passions. I feel powerful when I have created something that people are immersed in and are satisfied when it goes the way I planned. I feel powerful when I buy a ticket for a trip and still have enough money for rent.

Where do I see myself in the next 3 years?

Within the next 3 years, I see myself working for a company and then going to Grad school. I could also see myself working at an institution and slowly climbing the latter. If I do not have the opportunity to do these things then I will begin to move out of the country and travel and potentially get a job outside the country. 

Rant 1/3: Developing Mission

Question:

What do I want my career to fulfill?

When gaining a career I will want my job to have certain general attributes. I want to work somewhere I am challenged on a regular basis, having new problems and solutions constantly, having to learn new skills, working on a team and being pushed to become a greater well-known asset.

In my future career, I hope to work with people that are passionate and respectful. People that would prefer to bring you up rather than tear you down and a team that exercises healthy relationships. In the same wavelength, I want to work for a company/institution that is not known for negative activity and is thoughtful towards its community

I want my career to not be just design based by based in people and art. I want to be satisfied with what I do. I want to create experiences for people to enrich their lives. Whether that is simple ambiance design or entire installations.

What is my career path so far and what are aspects I want to gain from those jobs?
