If there is one thing I plan on doing in my design career, it’s attempting to work harder than anyone else.
Now, will I be working harder than everyone else there is? Most likely not. First of all, that is subjective. However, my plan is to know I’m working harder than those around me that I’m working with and those that are my peers. If anything, I must work just as hard.
I truly believe in a field like design, it’s all about what you put into it. If you work hard, it will show through in your work and if not immediately, you will eventually be rewarded for it in terms of being able to create work you’re very proud of on a consistent basis.
A very wise designer by the name of Drew Davies once told me in terms of the design industry, you can not afford to not love it.
I’m loving it.

Drew is right… You absolutely cannot afford not to love it. When you love it, you feel like your ideas can shape the perceptions and choices of every human being on the planet.
When you don’t love it, the whole facade comes tumbling down pretty fast, and you wonder if anyone actually cares.
