Talk given to design program seniors at RMCAD, Jan 2014

Right now you're beginning to see what's possible, and how /you/ like to play the design game.

You get to decide how to build your skills; in games, this is often called 'building a skill tree' because your decisions branch and build on each other.

Right now, you need to decide where your strengths might lie.

Here's where you might want to look for your (eventual) superpower.

Soon, though, you'll be ready to go more in depth and really reach for something - and things get more complicated.

You're not alone (and don't be threatened by that).

There are many theories about how to structure the building of your skills - go deep (specialize) or go broad (have a lot of different skills).

-Consider: the type of job, the business climate, and the type of business you want to work in.

Level up the smart way! Don't just be reactive; /create/ your future

It's up to you - YOU CAN DO IT

Thanks for your time, everyone
