So much design and career advice going around. Just putting it out there, it’s okay not to know everything. It’s okay not to read a book about everything. It’s okay to learn as you go from your mistakes. It’s okay.

So many rejection stories. After school, as a temporary visa holder you get a 1-year period where you have to find a job, so time is essential. It’s stressful. So first two weeks I applied to a total of 100 jobs, no joke. I got 2 interviews, 1 offer. Accepted it.

Focus less on titles, names, resumes, companies. Focus more on problems and applying your skillset to solve them. It’s not who you work for, or what your title is. It’s what you do that matters. Focus less on the past or the future. Focus more on right now. Right this second.

1/ Detach from the things you design emotionally. 2/ Don't forget that you design solutions. 3/ Your work can always be improved. 4/ Receiving critique is essential to mastering your craft. 5/ Empathize with people, understand their situations.

Everyone, leave 3 nuggets of advice for young designers just graduating. No one right/wrong approach so what worked for you? I’ll start: 1. It’s all about people + connections. 2. Asking questions can work miracles—start asking. 3. Work slows when you stop showing your work.

I don’t get neumorphism. It looks like someone thermoformed the interface. I don’t see the purpose of it other than being an aesthetic choice. Skeuomorphism had a purpose, and it was intentional.
