A "Creative Snapshot" of Nevada:
* I appreciate a balance of working by myself and with others in the creative process. While I can appreciate breakthrough or off-the-wall ideas, I also appreciate the need for balancing creative thinking with a dose of reality.
* I like getting to know new people, but also enjoy hanging with my already established creative posse. I also love 'me time', as it's when I do some of my best creative thinking.
* I love new ideas and new experiences. Even though I may not be a trendsetter by definition, I'm open to different perspectives. That is, I had the forethought to evaluate whether or not my body type was right a trendy new pair of skinny jeans, rather than just running out and buying them. But I can appreciate those who have the moxie to do just that.
* I really like to think a lot about ideas and mill them around before committing to them or writing them down on the company white board. I focus on honing a few really good ideas, rather than just thinking of ideas for the sake of... well... just thinking of ideas. Quality, rather than quantity, right?
