Making design fun (again) ✨

Remember when design was fun? Before deadlines, feedback loops and client decks. When you were just playing around with colours, making weird stuff in Photoshop, or drawing whatever came into your head? That’s where most of us started. Pure, unfiltered curiosity.

But somewhere along the way, design became a job. A pitch. A performance. And while there’s a certain magic in turning creativity into a career, it also means the joy can quietly slip out the back door. Suddenly, every idea has to align with the demands of a brief. Every sketch has to solve a problem. Every colour choice gets questioned.

Maybe it’s time to bring back the play. Design something pointless. Make something ugly on purpose. Start a side project that has no deliverables, no audience, and no expectations. The best ideas rarely come from the pressure cooker. They are the ones that show up when you’re messing around, when the pressure to resonate is out and the joy of creating for the sake of your soul is in.

So this is your reminder: not everything has to be strategic. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do for your creativity is to make something just for fun!

Make it weird.

Get messy.

Break the rules.

And have fun!
