Fusioneering

What Is Fusioneering?

Why pick and choose which passion you should follow? Fusioneering allows you to cultivate many interests into something innovative and revolutionary.

While Paul chose to combine science, art, and technology to create Dulcinea, fusioneering is the practice of combining any two or more disciplines to create something new.

What Does Fusioneering Look Like?

No matter what piques your curiosity, you become a fusioneer when you dig deep into your interests, blend them together, and introduce something unique to the world. Fusioneering expands the realm of possibilities, challenges the way we think, and encourages us to transform ourselves and the world around us. Start your journey by exploring fusioneering stories.

It is impossible to be alive without the effort to create and to bring something new into concrete manifestations.”

From Nicolai Fechin by Mary N Balcomb

Understanding Fusioneering

Instead of following in the standard path of one discipline, fusioneering inspires us to pursue a single vision while combining multiple passions or interests. While it might sound complicated, the most difficult of concepts can sometimes be described in the simplest terms.

Following Your Passions

When a group of high school students visited Paul in his studio, a young girl shared that she loved playing in the mud. When her classmates laughed at her, she recovered from the embarrassment by saying she likes working with computers. While these may seem like vastly different passions, Paul sparked a conversation around how she could combine her interests to create a unique career for herself.

Enjoying The Journey

When starting out, Paul was overwhelmed with the immensity of the task ahead. See how he worked through this to enjoy every day of his journey.

Follow your enthusiasm wherever it leads you.”
