Advice for Young Design Engineer

Oh man, Louis, I feel you man. I’ve asked myself those same questions so many times. It’s not easy.

What you’re looking for, your ME side, and how you integrate into a studio really doesn’t come across at all, outside of this post. I definitely agree with E that you should try and showcase it better. But I’d even go one further and make it textually explicit as well. Having a short description of who I am, what I do, and how I fit in has been insanely valuable for me. Especially in a world where you’re non-traditionally connecting the dots.

Also, if you can, try and put this all in a website. If you’re really strapped for time, just throw the pages as images into a Cargo, Squarespace, or Behance, but it’ll give you the opportunity to include links, gifs, videos, and any other type of motion. Plus, it’ll give you space for an “about” page which are surprisingly clicked-through and allow people to non-linearly browse your work.
