Nature or nurture?

Nature means that there are certain things genetically ingrained in us. While nurture assumes that our behavior is determined by the environment.

As a former graduate of psychology I’ve wondered where my passion for creativity comes from. Is it something I was born with or that I learned along the way? Is my brain built differently? Or was it the people and events around me that led to my interest in design? I can’t fully say. However, I can say that nature has given me the instincts and tools to be a problem solver while I continue to nurture my design skills through learning, experimenting and pushing my design concepts.
