Carving Your Path: The Journey of Personal Innovation in Design
Introduction
In the intricate world of design, innovation is the cornerstone. Yet, finding personal innovation, especially when influenced by others' expectations, can be a maze.
The Journey of Self-Discovery in Design
In the early stages of a design career, working under an employer provides a safety net. It's a realm where you learn, adapt, and sometimes, compromise. But as you evolve, this protective cocoon might feel restrictive. It's a sign that you're ready to carve your own path in the vast design landscape.
Transitioning from Employee to Innovator
Stepping out on your own requires more than just skills; it demands a mindset transformation. As you embark on this journey, remember, you're now the captain of your ship. The days of seeking external validation are behind. It's time to trust your instincts and vision.
The Process of Discovering Innovation
To innovate effectively, first, understand the challenge. Label your innovation; I often term mine as "Initiatives." For instance:
Title: Executable Idea Initiative
Client: HIARKI DESIGN Co. (Even if it's you, treat it professionally.)
Version: HDC_executable-idea-initiative001
Objective: Create opportunities that can be transformed into products or services for HDC.
Milestones: Start with research, then build a moodboard.
Visualizing the Innovation
In the design realm, visualization is pivotal. A moodboard serves as a canvas, capturing the essence of your innovation. Dive into platforms like Pinterest to curate images that resonate with your innovation's spirit. What's the vibe you're aiming for?
Conclusion
Embarking on the path of innovation is both challenging and rewarding. As you delve deeper, myriad possibilities will unfold. Stay curious, keep evolving, and remember, the design world awaits your unique touch.
