Some people we look up to actually stumbled on the success we aspire to achieve. I fear we may be so obsessed with their paths that we want to recreate it so forcefully. I absolutely adore my faves. But I love my path! How are you making sense your own path and patterns?

You pour into someone enough that it overflows. So much that the person's overflow fills another, to the overflow. And that flows on and on, to overflow into someone else. And you never stop flowing. This is greatness, for me.

As a brand designer, you're onboarded into the visual system of a brand and meet a vibrant and expressive/boundless colour system. How do you manage that? Speaking on this on Sunday night and it promises to be fun. Very. An illuminating too.

Design is a looooooooot more than the software and technical skills. Add negotiations and communication to the other "not so simple things" you come up with (or find out). No, it doesn't mean you should downplay technical skills.

BLACK (or WHITE) IS NOT YOUR AUTHENTIC COLOUR. And that’s okay. Generally, when people are trying to figure out the colour to wear (or use) for an occasion, they start from black or white. It almost never fails.
