I worked in the high-tech field as a graphic designer for many years. I've loved growing  my creativity and still navigating the discipline of working in a field that naturally demands it. 

One of the best bits of advice I received from someone in the field was on being creative, not only in finding a job but how you approach your work, this has meant everything in my long career.

Don't get into a job hoping it will bend to your creativity, bring your talents and ideas to any job you have and allow the two to mix seemlessly.

In working with clients, realize you are solving their problem not the other way around. Be easy to work with, bring them value with out costing them stress and more than anything be honest and reliable.

The CEO at one of my first high-tech companies said-"Have Fun" and that is what I have done now for the last 40 years-I have had so much fun with creativity.
