From the great Mike Monteiro and his advice to designers everywhere. He wrote it way better than I could’ve and it’s so good I’m posting the high level points here. Now get over there and read the full post:
- A designer is first and foremost a human being.
- A designer is responsible for the work they put into the world.
- A designer values impact over form.
- A designer owes the people who hire them not just their labor, but their counsel.
- A designer welcomes criticism.
- A designer strives to know their audience.
- A designer does not believe in edge cases.
- A designer is part of a professional community.
- A designer welcomes a diverse and competitive field.
- A designer takes time for self-reflection.
