About Me
Hi! i’m lydia.
I see design briefs as fun puzzles that I am excited to solve. While I am a creative at heart, strategizing with more straightforward logic and research to solve issues is something I excel at. I love to learn and am eager to add more skills to my repertoire! I am an empathetic designer, a quick learner, am flexible, honest and enjoy immersing myself in new projects.
personal skills (my top 5 strengths)
Gallup developed the CliftonStrengths test to help people determine their personal and professional strengths. Here are my results:
1: empathy
“You can sense the emotions of those around you. Intuitively, you are able to see the world through their eyes and share their perspective…You anticipate the need…You help people give voice to their emotional life.”
2: adaptability
“You see [the future] as a place that you create out of the choices that you make right now…you don’t resent sudden requests or unforeseen detours…Indeed, on some level you actually look forward to them. You are, at heart, a very flexible person who can stay productive when the demands of work are pulling you in many different directions at once.”
3: developer
“You see the potential in others. Very often, in fact, potential is all you see. In your view no individual is fully formed…many will seek you out for help and encouragement because on some level they know that your helpfulness is both genuine and fulfilling to you.”
4: strategic
“It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large. This perspective allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity…You discard the paths that lead nowhere.”
5: relator
“Relator describes your attitude toward your relationships… [You want to truly know people.] You know that this kind of closeness implies a certain amount of risk—you might be taken advantage of—but you are willing to accept that risk.”
