Well, this is probably the least blog post you'll expect from me but no, this isn't about my life in general because finally, I have been (and struggling!) trying to grow up in corporate world. Yup. Work related.
For years (since 2010), I was accustomed to the idea of sitting in front of my computer, waiting for Job Orders and try to impress every single people with my minimalist approach to design and layout. Haha! Kidding. But you get the idea. Very corporate. I waited for this opportunity! To get my hands on design software while I was just a Project Coordinator then. You know, processing of payments, tracking of every single movement of Job Orders, answering senseless phone calls and the likes. And at that point, I hated it.
FAST FORWARD TO 2016
For six years now, I am still that designer without the paper works and I loved every single moment of it. But all these years, parang may kulang. Parang I want more. But how? What is it? Until recently, My team was assigned with more responsibilities. Including paper works. Oh God.
Each one of us has specialization. Me and Allan, handles shoots and design agencies (print ads, etc.) Migs, renders and booths. Emil with design agencies too and Sir Bobet on fences and OOH. To tell you honestly, I kind of seem to like it now. Although it drains me to talk with lots of people, I can still manage to get through it. And right now, I am handling shoot. And I just had my first budget approved last week! Haha! Medyo ang saya. Or dahil bago pa lang ako ulit dito? But all those years of experience, and how much I hated very little information on emails, I managed to apply my experience by sending them very specific information. So no more questions asked. Kung meron man, very minimal na lang.
Honestly, I don't like being asked for updates. It's good that we have Project List meetings and updates. No need to be asked. We just send everything and that's good. And it's really helpful.
I have to go for now. I'll update when I have the time again. :)
