My personal creative manifesto.

Embrace chaos and uncertainty

Obstacles and difficulties will help me grow and develop

Keep a record of everything

Records help show progression and development

Embrace criticism

Feedback isn't personal, it's their to help me grow

Failure is feedback

Failure is what will help me improve for next time

No such thing as time wasted

I can learn from everything I do

What are my design philopshies and inspiration?

• Treat UI and UX as my building foundations

• Ethics will always be at my forefront

• My designs and ideas need to be accessible to many

• Only include elements, if they have a purpose

• Dedicate 10-20% of my time to experimentation

― Rory Sutherland, Alchemy

“Remember, if you never do anything differently, you’ll reduce your chances of enjoying lucky accidents.

What are my main tools?

• iPad notes to sketch ideas and wirframes

• Figma to bring my wireframes to life

• Photoshop for mockups

• Illustrator for illustrations

• Visual Studio Code to code the website
