Don't forget to be an artist

In a bid to follow the right design process, we sacrifice creativity. Many designers have lost their identity and personality while designing for users.
Being an artist is critical to a designer’s career because that is the frame of mind that lets you go crazy and try weird things.
I got to a point in my career where I was just doing it for money, and didn’t find it exciting anymore. After navigating this phase, I made a decision to only work on stuff I genuinely like, and align with my values.
For people in a corporate environment that doesn’t afford the the liberty to think like an artist, I strongly advise that you find a personal project you love and channel what’s left of you into it. Its one of the best decisions I ever made.
