Seems like some things come easy - humbly, for me it's always been the
ideation and visualization of ideas. I stay up at night thinking
through new ideas and have always been oddly suited to paradigm-
shifting concepts. The sketching/conceptual creation phase and being a
catalyst for new ideas (in myself and others) is natural. Also,
composition - the "big picture" of how things come together from
smaller pieces....
I thought it was by schooling and training, but I'm finding through
critique and empirical data of my work that it's just who I am.
Accepting and working with this skill has made my career so much more
enjoyable and fruitful... The trick was to harness that into usable,
concrete ideas - and that's where the experience of apprenticing,
professional work and practice has been most useful.
Hope that helps you query...

If there's anything more annoying
than a machine that won't do what you want,
it's a machine that won't do what you want
and has been programmed to behave
as though it likes you.
