title: The Percheron Pulse | Nicole Hoo
description: Nicole Hoo is a video game designer, turned survey tech. She says there's a fair amount of crossover between the fields, and a lot of the software she uses for mapping uses the same keystrokes and shortcuts that some video game design software use. One of the reasons she enjoys her job so much is because she can bring a level of creativity to the table that many companies in this sector would deem unnecessary. Nicole is proud of the company she works for and wants other young, creative people to consider Percheron for their careers. She said it was not what she expected, and she had the support and guidance to learn what she needed to excel in her job. She feels encouraged to utilize what she already knows and empowered to learn more.

Have you ever taken a kid’s drawing and said, “I can make something with this?” Then you use that drawing as the blueprint and make that vision a reality? That’s basically the job of a survey technician. You know what the surveyors in the field are doing, but there’s a lot more to a survey team than just those working in the field.
