I have a lot of long term goals , I am still wan to to learn and grow as a designer, I am looking very forward to this class to help push my personal goals, for creating products, but I don’t want to use all of these projects to help push this all forward to the over all goal. I am wanting to make an outdoor company, that will be community based, but over all will be product and apparel and using this class to help make smaller elements to start making some side freelance work to help further along the bigger objective

My goals in life are to be a mother. My ideal future is marrying my current boyfriend, have a big princess dress, move into a house with our cats. Then I will get a remote job as a creative director, maybe travel for conferences or work related things, but ultimately I'll work from home to be a stay at home mom. While stay at home moms typically take than on as their full time job I still want a career in design. I want to either make my own things to sell or be a creative director. The goals make me feel complete, accomplished, happy to think about this future. I have always known I want to be a mom, but the older I get the more I want to be a designer who connect people. I love the emotion and chaos of design and I would love it to be my career while I build/raise my family.

As a designer, I hope to inspire and, even more, hope to be inspired. Anyone struggling with motivation will understand that inspiration is often a very scarce resource. There are days, weeks and even years of my life that regretfully have felt "wasted". This feeling is horrible. Though struggling is inherent in the human condition, my biggest goal is to find inspiration wherever I can. A more practical approach to this question would lead me to explain where I want to be in 5 years, which is honestly quite generic. Coming from low income, I hope to be making a lofty sum of money. Enough to fuel my other passions outside of web design. I want to create things to be seen and used, I want to see and use great things. I want to be free of the weight of financial anxiety, I want to thrive!

When I think of my life goals the biggest one that comes to mind is to be financially stable and have a successful career. I want to be able to give my kids the life my parents had were able to give to me. My parents came from poor immigrant families that had to work the fields to provide for themselves. And with their hard work and dedication they were able to give me and my siblings a wonderful childhood. We were able to play travel sports, go on family vacations, eat brunch at a restaurant every Sunday morning. I want to be able to give my own kids the same experience I had the privilege of having. I don't know what the future has in store for me. I don't know where i'm going to go career wise but I hope and I pray that I'm able to find the right path for me and my future family.

My life goal is honestly just to be comfortable. I want to be able to to just live a nice basic life without having to worry about basic money things. I Also would love to be helping people make websites and logos in the future, I want to make people happy. I want to be comfortable and confident with my work and feel good enough. (But that all might just be me needing a therapist.) I want to be better at advocating for myself.

My life goals and ambitions are pretty simple, but they mean a lot to me. One of my biggest goals is to keep pushing forward with my powerlifting career. I’d love to make it to nationals and hopefully go even further than that. I have certain numbers I want to hit for each lift, and chasing those milestones really motivates me. Outside of lifting, I’m excited to graduate this fall with my degree, and from there I want to keep building my education by getting my interior design certificate. The plan is to eventually run my own business and also own my own gym one day. On a personal level, I hope to have a family too. I already have my husband, but I’d be grateful to raise kids together when the time comes. At the end of the day though, what matters most to me is just being happy. True happiness and inner peace feel like the ultimate goals, and that’s what I want to work toward above everything else.

I haven't really thought about any life goals before; however, I have thought about the ambitions that I have.
The first ambition I have is my photography. I am very focused on working on my photography if I had to make a life goal for photography, it would be to achieve greater experience and knowledge on my work.
The second ambition that I have is the realization of knowing that I am about to graduate and will finally get my work out into the world. This can also be a life goal of mine because I have spent most of my time and even free time working on this achievement.

I want to decide what form of design career I'm going into. Whether I get a 9-5 with a company, freelance, start my own business, I'm not sure yet but I want to have a plan for that. I want to marry my boyfriend and adopt a child. I want to adopt a cat from a shelter someday, my dad's allergic so I've never had one but I suspect that I could totally be a cat person and gosh they're just so cute and spunky.

At the moment my goal is to work for a company and do freelance work. I want to be able to work my way to earning enough for my family to not worry. I want me and my family to be able to live comfortably and be able to take 1-2 big family vacations. I am aiming to work in print and packaging. I really enjoy print seeing posters for events and promotions for concerts, even the merchandise for artist and album packaging interests me as well as luxury brand packaging. I also want to do UX design and help design museum spaces or event that the public gets to interact with. I think it’s interesting and fun to design experiences for people and watch how they interact with a space. I would also like to design a character(s) that could be mascots to my future freelance company/brand. I think mascots are a really great way of giving a face to a brand and make it memorable.

My life goals are not extravagant by any means necessary. I want to live a quiet, humble, stress free life. I unlike many do not have a "dream job" per say. There are a few professions I find interesting which include being a tattoo artist, livery designer etc. These positions fit me and will take full advantage of my skills while keeping me content mentally and financially while bringing joy to others. I want to become debt free, purchase land, and own my house wherever life may take me within the next 7 years when I will be 32. I also want to become more mentally and emotionally stable to be a better partner to my spouse; that way we can start a family together. The reason for the debt free and financial well being is to remove my life's biggest stressor that way I can do what I want, when I want without struggling or stressing.

think this is a question I often struggle to answer, but this is the first that comes to mind. One of my biggest life goals is to create something impactful, whether it be working on a video game, film, or even a poster or an advertisement. Big hopes for a gaming studio, since I've interacted with many passionate indie devs and would love to work with teams like them. I think finding a way to create an impact on people's lives through my creativity would be amazing. It doesn't have to be something deep and meaningful, it can be something fun and silly or even small that brings people joy! Currently I do social media strategies as my job and I make youtube content on the side, and I feel it's a good step in the right direction, especially because I've had many people online tell me that my videos are like the perfect background noise for them, or that I've created a little space on my channel for people to ramble about their interests. Small things!

My life goals are to build a career in design that actually moves culture, not just fills space. I want to merge fashion, art, music, and technology into experiences and visuals people haven’t seen before. I’m drawn to cities like San Francisco, New York, Berlin, Tokyo because they’re hubs of creativity and innovation, and I want to be right in the middle of that energy. These goals matter to me because I know design can shape how people feel, think, and connect. I hope to look back and see that my work pushed boundaries, inspired people, and opened doors for others like me.

I think my life goal in the grander scheme of things is to feel content with where I'm at and not have to worry about where my life is leading. I think it will get to that point where I've set myself up to the point where I'm able to fully sustain myself and feel comfort with where I'm at to where I can just brush off the thought of change and think of it in a more positive light. Right now as a broke college student I unfortunately find it pretty hard to view life that way but I think once I establish my career further and contribute more to my self sustainability, I'll have a lot better of an outlook.

My life goal is to become a successful designer and animator, through this I can provide and well and active life for myself and my family. Eventually down the road I will achieve in opening my own studio where we can create our own projects and help those who can't visual communicate have a voice in the world.
These goals will help in more than one way, visual communication is a key and vital resource when trying to run a business; and being able to provide that service for someone can help push them in the right direction for their desired audiences.
Achieving in owning and running my own studio is what I desire most; with working in the industry I will be able to refine my skills and talents that can provide others with the design and entertainment they need and want. Todd Mcfarlane is an example in which inspires me, he went and did work for Marvel and DC comics, he created the iconic Spider-man villain Venom. After that when he wasn't able to go any further he went with a handful of friends and started Image Comics where he started the Spawn comics and opened the door to publish those who couldn't be published. To achieve something like this and be able to grow like Image Comics would bring not just me success and a comfortable life but others that work with us as well.

My current end goal career-wise is to be a game designer/developer. Often times I find myself being moved more significantly by video games with a good story than other forms of media. I picked up the Bass guitar recently, but honest to everything I haven't touched it in about a week and a half. I've been too anxious and, or afraid to strum and make mistakes, and I keep telling myself I don't know where to start or I don't know what type of music I want to play, but that's just an excuse. My goals with it is to hopefully, at least play one gig with it in front of an audience of at least 10 people, like at a bar or something with a band. I want to start racing cars, built by my own hands, not just for fun, but to win! I always wanted to be a professional at some sort of sport. Last, but not least I wanna spend money on my family, I've been spoiled my entire life and I wanna do some giving back, especially for my parents, so hopefully I can get rich soon enough to spend that kinda money!
Giving a why for each reason; I wanna make games or perhaps publish some sort of media to make others feel some sort of emotion, if I can be an influence on somones life just because of something I posted on the internet I would be happy with that. Picking up the Bass was just because I like the way it sounds, simple as that. Racing cars, because it's fun to go fast with loud noises. I believe I already gave my reason for wanting to give back to my family.
