The author's journey from India to the Netherlands highlights the significant cultural differences in design preferences. In India, a crowded, vibrant environment influences the loud and maximalist style prevalent in digital design. However, upon moving to the Netherlands, the author discovered that their previous design style did not resonate with potential employers. As a result, they learned to adopt a more minimalist approach to align with the local UX market and express their creativity more effectively while respecting the cultural context.
My maximalist portfolio did not work! My designs were too loud and brandish for most companies I initially applied to.
I learned how to express myself with minimalism.
