Is there a design application that has it all?
Perhaps Adobe Illustrator? Or Photoshop? Not InDesign? Maybe it’s Sketch? Or now it’s Figma? Who the hell knows. I use all of them. All can be great, and all can be super frustrating. So it goes.

Having a guiding light that could be considered your old self can help you see clearer, do things you’re afraid to do in the moment, and talk sense when you’re making none.
