“Help the mechanical engineers and electrical engineers communicate better.”
I thought this was a strange assignment for my first job out of engineering school. But it set the direction for my mission in life.
In that first job, I wound up using the project’s brand new computer-aided design and drafting system to create a block diagram that got people in different groups talking to each other to figure out how their systems would interact in the complex vehicle we were designing.
Since then, I’ve been using computers daily and learning everything I can about visual communication, to solve problems and improve communication through the use of graphics.
