In a reflection on a 15-year career in digital design, the author emphasizes the significance of mindset in becoming a successful designer. Entering the industry as a visual artist, the author initially focused on honing technical skills but quickly learned that effective design also requires a keen understanding of business objectives. Through extensive experience with various products and teams, the author suggests that embracing the right mindset can greatly enhance growth and effectiveness in the design field, encouraging others to reflect on their own journeys and potential improvements.
I've been doing this for almost 15 years now, and I can't tell you how much I love what I do.
Of course, the business reality hit me first, and I realized that design incorporates some art, but its goals are absolutely different.
However, after working with products, teams, and companies of all sizes for more than a decade, I've realized that being a great designer is about cultivating the right mindset.
