I was 19 years old.
Everybody told me that I wasn’t a creative designer.
Then I thought I wasn’t creative.
I felt stuck. I felt anxious.
I had no clients. I had no money.
After 2 years, I closed a 10.000€ project.
I felt stuck in a loop.
I consumed +6000 websites in 2 years, but always designed the same designs.
It took me hours to design a new piece, and it wasn't even something outsanding or creatively new.
I saw other designers growing.
Up to this point, imagine how I felt. Simply a frustrated designer unable to move forward.
Until I decided to make a change, I decided to push forward and make everything different. The first thing I did was to explain things, to open up to the people around me (including other creative professionals who are my friends in the industry), and tell them how I was feeling and see if they had any advice to give me.
