Why do you want to be a designer? Why is design such a seductive career path?

Perhaps at the heart is the sense of 'newness.' The idea of exploring, deconstructing and re-inventing taps into our need to contribute, connect and grow. Plus, the ability to influence human behavior and solve problems creatively while getting paid for it, is indeed pretty cool. So are people born to be designers? Ram Castillo dives into the fine details of what it takes to get a job as a designer, propelling you into a lifestyle that ticks all the boxes.
