Robert took time out of his busy day to explain what life is like as Project Coordinator at Creatuity. Within our interview, we got to know Robert in a personal and professional sense as he shared how he balances his work and personal life, his thoughts on the future of eCommerce and much more!
Can you describe what you really do at work?
I am a Project Coordinator. This means that I am a project manager, creative director, sales rep, psychiatrist, and friend/ally to all Creatuity clients. I work closely with our clients to make sure that their project requirements are completed on time and within budget. I have several clients that I have worked with for years, and have developed close business relationships with these clients.
If money was no object, what would you spend your days doing?
If money was no object, or rather I had unlimited financial funding, I would spend my days traveling around the world, making art, starting hippy communes, feeding the hungry, curing disease, and ending war.
In your spare time what do you get up to, and how do you balance this with your workload?
In my spare time I make abstract sound art, abstract paintings, concrete sculptures, and woodworking (turning wood bowls). I do this mostly in the evenings after work and on the weekends.
How do you see the future evolving for Magento and the eCommerce space in general?
I believe that the eCommerce space will continue to grow and expand, and I believe that Magento itself will become the dominant platform for most businesses.
What is usually your last thought before falling asleep?
My last thought before I fall asleep is usually related to gratitude for the day, and hopes for a better tomorrow.
Who is your role model, and why?
I look up to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I have always admired how they promoted peace and understanding in their collaborations of music and visual art. Martin Luther King Jr. has always been a role model – no need for explanations there. Also, lately I have been reading and following Tim Ferriss a lot; I like many of his thoughts and recommendations and have been working to incorporate them into my business and personal life.
What motivates you?
Freedom.
