In a World With No Concern For Time or Money...

What would I do in this type of world?

I would want to do a lot of things, but I'm just going to focus on what career path I would take for this post.

I would want to take all the knowledge that I've learned in college and create a company with individuals who would make up the different parts of a design team. The members of this team would all bring different perspectives and talents to the table. We would then design the different elements that small businesses or charities needed to make their business stand out more or even just to get them started.

I would be the front-end designer for this company, which would create whatever they needed will the help of other members of my team and use my UI/UX experience to figure out how to create something that the client would love, while also making choices that would benefit the users of the design.

As a company in a world that has no concept of time or money, we would not charge a fee for the designs we created, but let the business or charity decide if they could pay, and how much they wanted it to be.

Why would I do it?

I don't want to be the type of person who goes and works for a big company that doesn't care about me or its consumers. This is because I know this is the type of job that will kill my passion for design and being creative.

I want to be able to connect with the people I am designing for and there to be a greater purpose for my designs and them not just get people to spend money on things they probably don't really need.

I have also always had this need as well to be an owner or partner in a small business of my own, I don't know if this is because of seeing my Dad run his own small business growing up or something else entirely.

I also just want to help people who are motivated to make a change in this world, no matter how small. So that is why my design team and I would focus on small businesses and charities because they don't always have the same network or means as other bigger companies may have.

In a world with no concern for time or money, I would do my best to help make a difference for the little guys of the world, so they have a little bit better of a chance to make a change in this world.
