I would like to work in a Boutique firm. I am the kind of person who works best when surrounded by people that I am on a more personal basis with, along with places that are not "corporate" environments and therefore have their own character and are not just out to make money, but to make a difference as well. I also can not do the same thing day in and day out. In order to be doing good work I need to be critically thinking about many different problems at once. When this happens it helps stay way from getting tunnel vision on a project, along with my personal want to not specialize in one "area" of design, but rather dabble a little in a lot of places.
I believe that is is very important to be helping those who can not help themselves, so I do not think I could work somewhere who does not value spending some time working on meaningful pro-bono work. I also, do not do well in a strike 9-5 environment. I need to be able to go out into the world during the day and get some inspiration and investigate what people are doing and why.
My ultimate goal with design is to make a positive impact on someones life, but I do not necessarily want people to know it was me. I want my work to be used and appreciated and If I can find a comfortable work environment that lets me create in this way, I will be happy. I do not know much about how to find what would be a good fit for me, but I feel like im the kind of person who will see it and know. As for geography, I would like the north east or north west. Places like NYC, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, or Portland. I would like a geographical location that allows me to be able to "escape" and get to/ see nature if I needed to. I have noticed, that since living in Pittsburgh I have caught myself really upset that I can not easily get to a large body of water like I can at home, in NJ.
