After many years of being a designer, working in many industries including Marketing, Advertising, I have seen
a lot of things, things I would swear civilized people would not do to their fellow man. But the world I work in is not
always Black & White. Really just a lot of shades of Gray.
I wish I could say "I will be at this company forever", or "I never want to leave", but like a lot of ups-and-downs
at companies I have worked for (Eight in 17 years), sometimes the stability or security isn't always where you
want it to be.
Currently, my job is good and safe - partially because I'm a hard worker, partially because I can do things that the
Art Director above me cannot do, and partially because of my creativity, forward thinking and design ability.
But lately (after an "incident") I have started to re-evaluate the whats and whys of my work there and in the
bigger picture - what is next for me, my future of design and my company visualHYPE.
Not that I share a lot into the deep recesses of my brain, heart & soul but here you go:
I've been kicking around the idea of taking my company out for a real drive… out on the open road. No safety net of
a daytime job, but just me, a partner and some support. Can it be done? Can I be successful at it? Will it last?
Is it my future? Many restless night ahead if I move forward with it. Let's say - I'm thinking about it but making it
a reality - not just yet. It is always about cycles and I can't say I'm feeling it.
But you never know what the future holds or what road we will be on.
