As I get older, Iโve realized hard work isnโt enough.
Relationships matter and they take intentional effort.
So I show up, contribute value, and stay present even when thereโs nothing in it for me right now.
To be rich in relationships is a blessing.
Totally agree. A lot of 9โ5 design roles become routine-based. Some box you into pushing screens without building research skills or product thinking.
You need to stretch yourself through side projects or learning outside work, so you donโt get too comfortable and stop growing.
A lot of designers are too pigeon-holed in their 9-5, you need to experiment, CREATE time for self-initiated projects, this is probably the only way to stay relevant and materially advance your skill.
The monotony of your 9-5 is not helping your creativity especially if you already have a design system.
The only instance this advice doesnโt apply is if you are constantly dealing with new problems you need to translate to deisgn at work.
@Joe_brendan_ The font gave it away. Definitely vibe coded but looks really good and can easily on par, if not above the output of a junior designer. I loveee the illustrations. I love the studio interface.
Candice on nemesis is soo annoying. Spills too much, gives grace to everyone but her husband. Looking for the validation to cheat and make it stiles fault. Makes the worst decision. Selfish in the face of a storm. A disappointment. #nemesis
Everything you know now, you were once a beginner at. No age is too late to start that new thing. Pick up that skill. Start creating content.
You either start or you donโtโฆyouโll still be 5 years older in 2031 anyway.
Youโre not late. Allow yourself to be a beginner.
