What motivated you to become a designer (or current role?)?

I spent most of my 20s living anywhere except Boston and working on any project type I hadn’t experienced before. It was a years long qualitative life survey that I used to inform later career decisions. My arrival at Bergmeyer was a mix of timing, luck, skill, and determination.

When you are retired and look back on your life, what is the biggest accomplishment you hope to achieve?
