      Superpowers Example

      I think of myself as having two superpowers: Curiosity and patience. Both of these help me to do my best work as a designer. My curiosity prompts me ask important questions and investigate why my client needs something and what are they trying to accomplish. My patience really helps when you get into design revisions. Sometimes clients have a hard time communicating what they like or don't like about design. Being patient with the process helps me to do my best work and helps them to get what they need from the design work.
