Life of a Designer.

So i have been sitting around for a while now trying to explore this blog page wondering what to write and how to write.Many times i thought to myself that this isnt a great idea for me and maybe i should just give it up and i have been on the verge of clicking that red cross on the upper right corner various times to shut this page and get back to doing something productive.But finally i have gathered some courage and killed all the lazy urges within me and here i am writing my first blog.

For all those who dont know me, I am Sparshi and i am an Architect.

This is my day 1 at blogging.

So i have recently founded my design firm called "THE ART EFFECT". More on the firm will be written in my next blog. Right now i have some other topic to write wandering around in my head.

Being an architect the most frequent question that has been asked to me is 'why did you choose this field?'

Some of the reasons that made me choose and a few other reasons that made me fall in love with this profession are the topic of my blog today. LIFE OF A DESIGNER.

IT'S A LIFESTYLE, NOT A JOB

Well designers tend to think about design all the time, not only in buildings but in small little things surrounding them. Be it the way you gift wrap a present or the way you serve a dish to your guests.For designers there is always a little bit of design hidden in everything.

YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN BOSS

You can be your own firm of one and still be a viable service provider on almost any size project. No bad days at work and no more dealing with horrible boss moods :)

PEOPLE RESPECT ARCHITECTS

Even if they don't really understand what we actually do, there is a perception that architects are ethical and responsible. Maybe that being the reason why many movies these days choose their lead characters to play the role of an Architect.

ARTISTIC FREEDOM AND PERSONAL EXPRESSION

As an Architect you almost always have this freedom to express your creativity and personal style of art in your projects. This provides you with creative satisfaction and keeps you driven towards your work.

THE EUPHORIC RESULTS

Anyone who has ever seen a building they have worked get built knows what i am talking about. Its like your creation taking shape, you can mould it your own way. Architects generally have this sense of ownership on every project they work.

WE CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT PEOPLES LIVES

It is rewarding to develop a personal relationship with your client, particularly when you know that the process will yield a fruitful end product. By understanding the process our clients appreciate the product. By appreciating the product they are acknowledging the role it plays in their life.

BONUS. WE DON'T HAVE TO WEAR FORMAL BORING CLOTHES

We can be as colorfully dressed as we want at work and no one minds it. 'No' to all the boring shirts and pants and the blacks and whites.We can use our creativity to our dressing as well. What else do you want!!!

and yeah of course you do get decently paid as well for what you enjoy doing.
