Our expectations of you
A creative problem solver with a natural can do attitude. There has never been a box to 'think out of' because boxes get in the way unless they're useful to solve the problem - like climbing on them
Seeking out and discovering the best solutions for everything you come across.
A confident individual who can't remember the last time they paid a visit to their comfort zone.
You enjoy throwing around ideas and creating possibilities, happily putting them up to the test of whether they will work or not. Good ideas not only have to fly, but they also have to stay up there no matter what gets thrown at them.
You already have your own 'projects' solving those things you've identified to improve everyday existence.
