Do the work that feeds your soul, not your ego.
As we get older, a lot of societies, education systems and workplaces make us feel that playing is a waste of time. We end up suppressing stupidly brilliant questions for what we think are more serious responsibilities.
Play is the state of mind that we can use in our creative process to our advantage.
Have the confidence to fail. Persistence is key.
Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Do work you love and are passionate about, look outside of the world of graphic design for inspiration.
