 When you have a wide array of skills across engineering, fabrication, art, systems, and craft, you cannot map your domain using a simple job title. You have to treat your past experience like a combinatorial balance sheet. When you have a wide array of skills across engineering, fabrication, art, systems, and craft, you cannot map your domain using a simple job title.

   * **Hard Industrial Precision + Aesthetic/Graphic Sensibility:** Most technical documentation and engineering artifacts are aesthetically barren; most artists lack rigorous spatial tolerances and mechanical reality. Bringing classical design elegance to hard technical subjects creates instant differentiation.   * **Hard Industrial Precision + Aesthetic/Graphic Sensibility:** Most technical documentation and engineering artifacts are aesthetically barren; most artists lack rigorous spatial tolerances and mechanical reality.
