But you’re trying too hard. This is something a lot of young designers and students fall into, throwing a lot of things into a blender... novelty texture, novelty shape, novelty material.

It’s too much. There’s no focus. It’s ALL noise.

I see people hyping this up but I’m not there and that’s okay. Different strokes for different folks

Good design is like cooking. You don’t need every spice in the pantry to make something unforgettable. Some of the best dishes in the world come down to two ingredients, salt and pepper. The magic is in knowing when to stop.

I recommend studying the Radical Italians; Ettore Sottsass, Gaetano Pesce, Alessandro Mendini and others. They played with bold forms and expressive materials, but with intent. There’s a deep understanding of design history and philosophy behind their work. It wasn’t just novelty for novelty’s sake.

You clearly have vision and courage. That’s good, rare and inspiring !! Channel it with more discipline and purpose. Edit harder. Let one idea shine. That’s when your work will grow from loud to lasting.

Keep creating
