What are your tips for junior designers?

Here are my three tips: 1. Progress over complaints Nobody fixed low design maturity by complaining. Take small steps: Do a little bit of research. Propose a small improvement that goes beyond the brief. Ask “what if” questions. Show the value of good design. 2. Relationships over being right I have colleagues, and customers I’ve met 5-10 years ago in different companies. And I could have had more of them if I understood this sooner: Being good to work with beats being right. Build bridges. Don’t burn them. 3. Judgement over perfect process When I started as designer, I was looking for the golden process. I thought great designers are taking some steps I don’t, and that’s why their work is so good. I had to learn how taste is growing with experience, and curiosity. Learn how to make sense of information. And to turn it to UX patterns.
