Are you a Junior, Intermediate, or Senior Designer? In either case, read this: 👇

You can be a top-level designer.

Becoming a top designer doesn't mean you have to spend 10,000 hours working.

It's about how well you handle your projects.

Some examples of the difference in approach for different designers:

1️/ Beginner Designer:

👉 Tell me exactly what to do, and I'll do it.If things get tricky, I may ask for help.

2️/ Intermediate Designer:

👉 Tell me what you need and when you need it.I'll get it done and ask for your thoughts once I'm finished.

3️/ Senior Designer:

👉 Let's discuss the big goals and important steps.I'll plan carefully, do the work, and chat with you about any problems or new ideas.

Notice there's no talk about how much time you've spent working?

That's because being a great designer is about being in charge of your work and planning ahead, not about how long you've been sitting at your desk.

At all levels, it's about being RESPONSIBLE.

That's the real secret to doing well in design.
