[IxDA Discuss] When/Where/How did you decide to be a designer?

[Esteban Barahona]

It was basically from 2 parallel paths: one from my interest in art
and another from my interest in computing. Those paths met some day
after thinking that art in itself was not what I really wanted and
after investigating about Human-Computer Interfaces...

I searched and come up with Tog's "we have only ourselves to blame
(for the lack of knowledge about interaction design)". Then I
decided to start studying (product) design (for computing).

However after I started meditating frequently about 2 hours; I'm
about to start a new path that I don't know were it leads...
probably some form of computing or design related job plus a lot of
meditation.

The Interaction Design studies that I've searched worldwide are
either non-existant or prohibitively expensive. And I'm aware of
Return of Investment... with the %u20AC$ that cost a career it may be
a better investment to start a computer company (starting "small"
with case design and production for example)... but I've not decided
my future...
