What are some creativity related careers that include mathematics?
I really like creating things and work with imagination but mathematics are also very important, so what are some careers that may include both fields? #jcareers

Kateryna there are a number of careers that involve both mathematics and design. While mathematics and design may seem to be opposites, they actually are a necessary combination of skills for a number of interesting careers. Individuals who enjoy the design process and also have a mind for math may want to consider pursuing a career that involves both of these abilities. Choosing among them may be a challenge, though there are some factors that may make the choice easier, like the amount of time you desire to spend in school, your interests, and other skillsets.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS – Professionals who work on the manufacturing side of many different industries, like automobiles, kitchen appliances, or children's toys. They are responsible for coming up with the designs for these products by working with clients to understand the function of the product, using engineering and mathematical concepts to create feasible designs and prototypes, and overseeing the overall manufacturing process of the final product. To become an industrial designer, you will normally need a bachelor's degree in a field like engineering or industrial design.
ARCHITECTS – Creative individuals who draw the designs for new construction projects like office buildings, homes, and a number of other structures. These professionals must have a keen eye for design to create drawings that are aesthetically pleasing to fulfill the needs of the client. They also should have strong abilities in mathematics to create designs that are actually possible to construct. Architects often use special computer software to aid in the drawing process. To become an architect, you will need to complete either a 5-year bachelor's program in architecture or complete a master's program in the field, as well as complete an internship for experience and pass the Architect Registration Examination.
AEROSPACE ENGINEERS – Design and test a wide variety of flying structures, like missiles, aircrafts, spacecrafts and more. They must make complex mathematical calculations and use extensive knowledge of physics to ensure that these structures are safe and able to travel the way they are intended. Aerospace engineers closely evaluate their designs and ensure compliance with all quality standards. They must also troubleshoot and correct any problems that arise. These engineers need at least a bachelor's degree, and depending on the particular projects they work on, they may need special security clearance.
CIVIL ENGINEERS – As a civil engineer, your job will entail designing and overseeing the construction of projects like tunnels, roads, bridges, and dams. You must be highly skilled in mathematics to create the designs for these projects, as they must be structurally sound to serve the many people who will likely use the road, bridge, or tunnel once construction is complete. There also is a heavy design aspect to this job, as some clients or city governments may have various building codes that the designs must fulfill. To become a civil engineer, you will usually need at least a bachelor's degree if not a master's degree in the subject.

Hi Kateryna,
I think that the career would depend on what you want to achieve creatively. Immediately I thought of an architect since there are aesthetic elements to all buildings, some more beautiful and creative than others. Yet creatively is not just about the creation of the arts. Creativity is seeing the world in a way that something has not been seen before. Inventors of new technologies and products use great creativity in their work. Doctors even use creativity in their work. As much as we like to think of medicine as a science, there is creativity as well. A doctor has to take a subset of symptoms from a patient and create a path forward that is as unique as the patient. Creators of vaccines, medicines, and other treatments have to see the word as it is and imagine what can be. Some of my favorite people who use a bit of math and creatively are cooks. Now I know that measuring is a basic form of math, however, it does take a knowledge of chemistry and other sciences too. So I would turn and ask you a question. How you want to use your skill in mathematics?

Process improvement and Strategy roles would be a great fit for you. You have to analyze data and create solutions to business problems. There are many career opportunities that are based on these process improvement methodologies:
Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology that provides tools and techniques to define and evaluate each step of a process. It provides methods to improve efficiencies in a business structure, improve the quality of the process and increase the bottom-line profit.
Agile Project management/ software development In software development, agile practices involve discovering requirements and developing solutions through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer/end user.
Lean Thinking principles- We can define Lean as a system for developing process improvement that is continuous and has a focus on reducing and eliminating waste. Toyota developed the concept to help with their production operation and improve processes to cut the time it takes from receiving an order to delivering it.
