We have an opportunity and a responsibility as designers to redefine what’s “normal” in the world by promoting, embracing, and encouraging diversity of all types and designing assets that represent reality. It’s time to move away from designing with pink for women and blue for men. Every creation is an opportunity to redefine what “normal” means in a world full of wonderful diversity. &nbsp;

This is my creative algorithm for progress and possibility. Mindset + Actions = PROGRESS.&nbsp;I believe our mindset plus our actions are the strongest predictors of progress. If you start with a fixed (or scarcity) mindset, your possibilities will be fixed too. If you start with a growth mindset (abundance), your possibilities will be more abundant.&nbsp;Start with a vision. One thing every successful entrepreneur or creative professional I’ve worked with (or interviewed) shares with me, is how the more you visualize what you are seeking the more likely it will become true.‍&nbsp;Experience with FlowMapp: Uses Flowmapp regularly in his work at Digital Surgeons to design demand for the customers.

The most important thing I've learned about the design industry is not to take anything personally. In our field, very often, everyone has an opinion, and a subjective one at that, but the designer has to filter them and keep following the goal of the project.&nbsp;Also, the designer should try to be open to new options and opinions, take pride in their work, and last but not least try to be a kind and compassionate person.

Disconnect your self-esteem from designing. As designers, we often get so hung up on the result and how the product will look, feel and interact that we begin to attach ourselves. For years, I felt such a deep connection to my work that if I had to redo an element or work with others on the project, it almost felt like I was failing.&nbsp;Once I subtracted my ego from the equation and began to look at my work and the work my team does, in a holistic way, my designs not only got better, but I began to thrive in my position.

When working on ambitious, multi-year design strategy projects, it's important to consider the decision-makers' experience who are engaging in your process. In my experience, when people reflect on their careers, they are much more likely to remember how they felt being part of a specific project or team than the nuances of the actual end-deliverables.&nbsp;Never forget that after you give your final presentation, your perfectly formatted slide deck will be cut up and copy-pasted into 100s of other decks and documents; it will take on a life of its own. Three years on, key decision-makers may not even remember your original strategy presentation. Still, they will remember how they felt being a part of that process, whether they felt like they had input, whether they felt represented in the ideas outlined, whether the right trade-offs were discussed, etc.&nbsp;Ultimately it will be those people who carry the strategy forward long after you have finished the project. Their understanding of the vision and their buy-in is critical, maybe more so than any glossy visual mocks or the perfect product narrative.&nbsp;The best strategies are those created with significant input from decision-makers along the way, such that they feel a sense of ownership and buy-in before the final presentation has even begun.&nbsp;

Many designers are too focused on the industry standards, not primarily around design quality but design flow. The consensus is that you need to storyboard and wireframe your design first. While it is important, especially in UI/Web design, to focus on the flow and minimizing user interaction prior to the end goal. It is equally important to find something that works for you.&nbsp;Take the time to focus on what makes you better but different as a designer, whether in marketing, illustration, or web-based applications. Don’t get caught up in how everyone else does it. Focus on what works best for you and what keeps you passionate. Don’t exhaust yourself where you don’t need to, and create your own processes.

Product design is an iterative process that helps identify a business opportunity and a user’s problem, develop an impactful solution and validate it with real users. As a product designer, I believe that the journey of creating the best solution lasts forever.&nbsp;Thus, we need a compass to determine the right direction of this endless journey. To my mind, the product design process is the compass that designers should stick with. Trust the process and gain success!

In 2020, I learned how important it is to find the balance between work and life. I used to be more on a workaholic side, but being on a lockdown most of the year showed a lot of significant areas outside of work. Still, I have too many ideas related to professional and personal projects. To understand what is most important, I use the Pareto principle. I define my long-term goal and then assess the idea in terms of effort and result. If it fits into that 20% that brings 80% of the outcome, I prioritize it. This approach works perfectly both at work and in other fields of life.

This year I'm learning about how to harness data to make better design decisions. Design school often talks about user research as the ultimate way to evaluate your designs and get feedback from users. Recently, I've been discovering how much power can be found in the data itself. Rather than focusing on a small sample size of research participants, statistics can give you signals about users' behavior at scale. In an ideal scenario, designs are measured both qualitatively and quantitatively.&nbsp;So, the next time you're stuck wondering about which design to pursue, consider running it as an A/B test or experiment. The data signals you get will help you make better decisions.

My mentors taught me the words “ship it,” something that I now apply in my daily craft meaning. It means whatever you have made, put it out there! Present it! And receive all the feedback (and criticism) it collects. Now take it back, reiterate, and do it again! Nothing is ever a finished product; everything is a prototype. So, keep experimenting, keep iterating!&nbsp;Maybe it’s the fine artist in me but, I believe human-oriented design is similar to creating an art piece. Both of them are a constant trial and error that requires many iterations and permanent marks that can only be relieved by other marks. Yet, each attribute is significant to the final result. It is a slow yet rewarding process.

In creative endeavors, you must separate yourself from your work. Detaching your ego is the route to iterate generatively as you craft a product. It could always be better, so don’t let validating one particular design force blinders on your view. The best designers aren’t doing their work in a vacuum. Ditch perfectionism. Hunt down that new perspective. Tease out that inspiration. Make sure the work you’re doing gets the constructive counsel that it needs so that it may be improved. After you cut out ego, novelty is empowered to drive the process.

In order to harmonize with culture in your life and work, you need to redefine the operating system (OS). It's easier to talk about change than to actually make it happen. Creating a culture of freedom and equity comes with great responsibility. Culture is not only a way of being; but a way of doing. A practice that can inspire a team to do the best work of their life.&nbsp;By challenging the status quo, existing dogmas of your organization, you can get beyond them and transform your company from the inside out. What working remotely this year has taught me about culture is that when you align your purpose with intention, serendipitous motivation can allow you to perform and feel your best. Maslow's hierarchy of needs points to an innate drive to fulfill our potential and self-actualize. I would take this a step further and say that co-actualization and human transformation is the future of work. We've been forced to reinvent the way we work in 2020, but it's only just the beginning.
