Oh, this is a good one! I actually intended to go to school in graphic design and ended up with a social anthropology degree instead. Near the end of college I had already regretted that earlier decision and quickly enrolled in art school after getting my degree for web/multimedia design. Meanwhile, I landed a job as a copy editor and web producer for a small .com in the late 90's and we were eventually gobbled up by another .com. I transfered my roles to that company, and then transitioned to production/asset management. This new role involved working with multiple teams, releases, developing content, building out Intranet sites, and setting up and organizing file systems. After a few years and another university (this time user-centered design), I FINALLY made my way into design. I cut my teeth on visual design projects, but pushed my way towards interaction projects and ultimately landed where I'm currently at. It's been a long journey, but I'm finally happy with the type of work I'm doing. The great thing is how all of my previous work developed me for this position.
