‘Creative Engineer’ is not an oxymoronic pairing of words.

I know this for a fact.

For example…

1. Take a big bowl right out of its box. 
2. Take a handful of entrepreneurial spirit. 
3. Add a sprig of philosophical curiosity. 
4. Blend these and some other stuff together vigorously until you get stuff on your shirt, on the counter-top, and on the floor.
5. Using your mind's eye, lay the result out on a multi-coloured whiteboard.
6. See the surprising things that rise to the top, even while they are half-baked.
