Most designers don’t suffer from a lack of talent. They suffer from a lack of conviction.They tweak endlessly, chasing something “better” instead of deciding what’s right. That isn’t a skill problem.
“Most designers consume more than they create. They scroll through thousands of shots every week and start to lose their own point of view. When everything looks good, nothing feels right.” - A dagger 🗡️ went through my heart. This is 100% true for me. I need to design more than I consume. Thanks for the realization & the good read!
This is a real gem. From now on I will share this writeup as a must read for any struggling designer, any newbie and any designer asking for way to improve.
If you were starting out fresh and not known, how would you go about finding skilled folks to critique your work? Is it just posting until you have an audience?
Great read, excited to see more of what you put out.

Too good!
Amazing. Thank you.
This hits hard. Thank you Fons!
Great to hear Peppe! More coming 👊
Great insights about taste
Thanks for reading!

Too much AI.
There’s some value, but hard to parse through the slop. I’d have appreciated reading your own thoughts even if briefer back of the napkin thoughts
Great read. “Build small personal rules. Consistency in decision-making trains instinct.” Curious to hear which rules you’ve built for yourself.
"Great design invites strong reactions. Indifference is the real failure." oooof!
that hit so hard
