Great job Mig and Katherine. This is great idea for a site and a great tip from a great designer. In short, everything is great.
Nice work, cake! You’re a rockstar and are looking very professional and Chicago-esque! Love.
You’re my hero KK! Great words of wisdom for the design world. Any work you truly take pride in becomes your baby. Its hard not to take the criticism personally. Its letting those words evolve your project into the best it can be that makes the strongest of designers. Thanks for talking about this!
I definitely agree with you, Katherine and Mikey! Especially as students, we hold our projects close to heart. It’s hard when you see any sort of opposition toward your pet projects. High five, KKW.
Katherine has some really great advice for new designers.
I really like that she mentions the importance of adaptability to suit clients needs.
Is there an expanded version of this video?
Dear Katherine, nice words we’ve all been in that situation and continue to experience the “yeah it’s nice, but…”.
Just jokes, keep up the good advice. Unless it’s critical.
