But What If They All Hate It?

About this video

Description

As designers, our mandate is to translate our client visions into the tangible, to amplify their voices, and to communicate their messaging. Acting as translators, over time, can render us out of sorts with our own unique styles, processes and instincts. Combine that with the hyper-connected age we're living in—where we're constantly comparing ourselves to our peers— and that a recipe for some serious self-doubt. Self-doubt is an inevitable part of the process and a creative's worst enemy. Join Nicola on an exploration of the emotional realities of making work and the awful things we say to ourselves along the way with the hope that together, we can all find a little more strength to keep making. Or maybe she'll blow it…
