(About Me)
Emerald Padgett
A compulsive yes man.
Hi. I'm Emerald and I am a compulsive yes man.
That means I have a problem saying no. Don't get me wrong, I say no to a lot of things. Now, when it comes to anything in design... that's a whole different situation. Got a job that requires a program I've never touched? HELL YEAH, I can learn....definitely. Give me 3 days and a lot of cold brew.
This opportunistic spirit has lead me to be quite the jack-of-all trades, and a master MacGyver-er. I mean it when I say my favorite thing in the world to do is learn. Learn new skills, learn new techniques, learn new ways of thinking.
I don't like to half-@ss things. I like to give myself the time and experience I need to be proficient and well-rounded.
I don't think my Yes Man Disease in a bad thing. It keeps me happy, challenged, and has enabled me to do great things I'm incredibly proud of. It forces me to grab the bull by the horns, alleviates the fear that comes with not knowing something, and allows me to dedicate myself passionately to each project at hand.
