Day 1. Fighting depression.
Hey you. This is Michelle. I have a challenge, an entry here per day until I’m out of this horrible stage of my life. I’ve been feeling up and down for over almost 3 years. I don’t want to continue like that. I have a incredible family, I have awesome friends, I met this guy, I studied what I love and I came to live in the city of my teenager’s dreams. I can’t continue on this crazy rollercoaster.
Some days ago we all heard about Anthony Bourdain’s death, and yes, I thought about that option. However, as I stated before, I’m sorrounded by all this incredible people, and thought sometimes I feel no energy or any kind of motivation to move on and continue, I wouldn’t in any way do something that could harm their souls.
So, here I am, deciding this is day 1.
So, I’m going to bind myself (if this is something proper to say, hahaha.. I’m so bad at writing in english.. whateva). Everyday I will do something to fight this and to continue my life from the place I leave it.
So, here it is.
An advance on my portfolio as industrial designer, because I do want to work and get involve in awesome projects.
Hello! I am an Industrial Designer aspiring to become a Business Designer with a strong passion for complex projects and simple solutions. Over the last years, I worked on projects across Product Design, Service Design, Strategic Design and User Experience. I gained meaningful experiences in several stages of innovation process, from framing the design challenge in an ambiguous scenario to coming up with a business model and its implementation plan. In doing so, I have learned to create a common ground to work along with people from different disciplines, cultural backgrounds and personalities; to identify the suitable research and design tools for projects in diverse industries and contexts; but most important I have put a toe as service and business designer, a path I'm excited to build.
So far this is it.
Also, later I’m going to Colegio de México, a school mainly focused on social and political science. I do want to start a space in Mexico to design services for public sector.
