Did you draw the plans of your dream apartment when you were 12 yo? Are you color-blind? Do you often think about how you could reduce your impact while designing… and actually do it? When you read about a new service, do you launch at the same time your smartphone, tablet and your grand parents’ computer to try it out? Do you use Figma for almost… everything? Do you have the dream of building a probe connected to your smartphone able to trace your daily dose of Calendar? Were you involved in your school cafeteria or in a bar (and you were the one dedicated to decoration and trying to find a solution in order to optimise the waiting time for people grabbing a beer or a coffee)? Did you draw your tattoo? Do you friends say about you that you’re a “creative empathic” person? Did you try to convince Siri to do bad, bad things? Have you ever dreamt about becoming a rock star?
