My Ikigai (2020)

How can I find a job that I love and has meaning?

I have been thinking about this a lot recently, as my looming redundancy date creeps closer and closer.

Panic and 'you got this' have been doing laps in my head.
What's my next step going to be?

What will the next step in my career look like?
How can I continue doing what I love, or even take it up a couple of notches?
And what would that even look like?

Then I remembered, this video from The Futur. Where @thechrisdo ran through the Ikigai framework to discover your reason for being.

Now, I am no expert in Ikigai. I am not even sure this is correct, but it's the best I have based on what I have been able to dig out from a quick google search.

But, here's my nudenotes Ikigai map.
I agree with the results... Packaging + Brand Facilitator.

I love working in the area where branding overlaps with packaging design, especially when I get to collaborate with others and facilitate the journey to the best possible solution.

Time to get start hunting down that perfect new Ikigai matching career!
