Boulevard of Broken DESIGNS

I struggle a lot trying to find the perfect spot to like a job and time-consuming. It’s hard! To be a perfectionist means that we need to let go of something to have what we want - either our ambition for perfection or our own time.

But in my last works, I realized that the answer is usually right in front of me. Maybe, just maybe, my design is not bad, maybe it’s just my impostor syndrome attacking again.

I notice that after I deliver some of my work, completely unsatisfied with the outcome, and desperate to dive into the next one hoping to forget the failure that I was feeling.

After a week, the client called me to talk about my work. My first reaction was “OMG, I’m done!”. That is not what happened!

He thanked me for the excellent work that I’ve done and asked me to use my work as part of his presentation to his superiors. 

I was flattered. I couldn’t believe that it was true. Sometimes I put myself so low that when I’m not able to see I do something really valuable.

And I can’t stop thinking about how many times, in different parts of our lives, we disbelieve in ourselves without a reason.
