Not sure if this is the right place, but I'll try it. For those who've already reached this level in their career, what would you recommend to those who are interested in becoming a creative technologist? I can share more about myself in the comments if needed. I was directed to Coding Train from listening to a podcast that hosted Anna Fusté, a creative technologist. I'm trying to identify best practice on how to best move forward on this path. Currently I'm listening to more interviews to gather more advice until I can make an informed plan. Thanks for your help. ✨

Hi @woven bone and @winged hamlet yeah basiclly creative coder or someone who can blend creativity and technology. Creative technologist is a newer role. It can exist in any job sector and the job description changes based on what sector it's in. (ex Entertainment vs Education). So I'm trying to understand my path to getting to creative technologist, how to structure my portfolio, and what skills to nurture in order to switch careers from Games QA and IT support basically
