What's my worth?

My individual strengths as a designer? How about staying above water hahah. No seriously I
actually do have a few good skills that I might actually get paid for one day.

I could just tell you what I think my assets are but feel that it will be better to repeat some of the
things people have said to me over the last few years here at school / co-op that reflect my valuable traits.

-Good mechanical aptitude that can be applied to design solutions.
I've taken a ton of stuff apart and knowing how things come apart helps me understand how
they are manufactured. There is no mystery as to whats going on inside most products for me.
It helps when I'm making a design to have a feel as to whether or not it's complete bullshit or
not.

-Unique outlook and understanding of how people interact with products.
When I am thinking of a design solution I tap into my library of experience that I accumulated
prior to returning to school. I think about the things I have used in my life and try to remember
why I liked and or hated them.

-Good visual communication of designs, entice emotion in the viewers...."I want".
I have ADD to a decent degree so in my visual communications I try to keep the words to a
minimum. I'm antsy, tell me now with absolute clarity what you are saying...with pictures.
