I'm 27 yrs old living in New York. I've studied Graphic Design ( basic) Currently trying Interior Design. I've worked for over 7 years in the Fashion industry as a handbag designer. I'm okay at it, but I can only sketch over a picture, meaning my hand sketching abilities aren't that great, and looking at the product and sketching it on the computer is a bit worse. I can get creative when its something new and that I will enjoy. After working more than one day on something it gets boring and I start losing interest in it. I can get the job done, but I can't put all my efforts in it. My fashion sense is not that great. I did not study Fashion and I could care less what is todays trend. Right now I'm working as a production designer and its quite boring. Don't get me wrong I do like this kind of job, but I wish it wasn't so repetitive.
I have a tendency to want to try new things, but as soon as its a bit difficult or long I start losing interest, so I drop it and start something else. That's how I dropped Interior Design after 6 months. I love Interior Design but my sketching ability makes it hard to enjoy it. There are other things I would like to try like cartoon/manga/anime artist/designer. I want to be a designer, but I don't want to have to go through so many courses to find the right one. I enjoy packaging ( not packaging design), but physically building the box, and adding whatever product and shipping it. (although this I would like for it to be my own products designed by me)
Anyways, you can see how my mind is wondering all over on this. I need to stand on solid ground and somewhere where to look. There are so many courses I would like to take, or jobs to apply to but I don't have the experience or the money for it. Therefore I always back down. I need a push into the right direction.
Thank you for reading.
