Based on my learning experiences and my values in life that followed from those, I developed a certain set of characteristics. Personally I hold an open, extrovert and spontaneous character which comes into play when working collaboratively for example. I believe that the many international activities I did and will be doing, contribute to these character traits and my personal values such as adaptability and challenge. I value working in an experimental, iterative and multi-disciplinary environment. Working experimentally makes me spot my weaknesses or faults early in or during the process. As a result, I can build on these mistakes to develop a solid outcome. Because I like to work in iterations, I have taught myself to be tolerant for mistakes, to be respectful and understanding. I think disrespect, intolerance and inadaptability are a few of the biggest delay factors in the multi-disciplinary working environment. I perceive professionality as adapting to and understanding fellow colleagues and thereby stimulating their productivity and well-being. I believe that when the team grows, I grow. Clear communication and organization are vital for me because I experience it to create an effective and pleasant working environment.I am a critical designer who dares to ask questions that matter. Never am I put off by what the standard is and I do not keep quiet if I question this standard.Have a look at my portfolio: www.pimsmitdesign.nl
