Think like a traveller
With Liv Strawbridge
Think like a traveller
You've probably heard the phrase 'traveling broadens the mind'. When we travel, we become aware of the details and things that stand out because they're new and different. In our day-to-day lives, we're often oblivious to our surroundings.
Try adopting a traveler's mindset to gain fresh perspectives in your design work. Take an alternative route or explore a new neighbourhood, paying attention to the details, colours, and unique features you encounter. You might be pleasantly surprised by the hidden gems and unexpected inspiration that is already here in your everyday life.
Surrender to the process
“The creative process is a process of surrender, not control” – Julia Cameron
Our creative process thrives when we let go and allow inspiration to guide us. Embrace the freedom to experiment, take risks, and trust your instincts. By surrendering to the flow of creativity, your confidence will grow naturally.
Adam Ho: Follow your instincts
Adam Ho’s approach to design is about exploring and following his instincts. He describes his process as this kind of "out of body experience," where he lets the creativity flow and trusts his gut while designing. Then, after he's done, he steps back and makes sure everything makes sense and fits together, essentially working backward to fine-tune and make sure the final design is consistent.
