"Fashion fades, style lasts." -- Yves Saint Laurent





1. Having your style can be both a blessing and a curse. Often, it's a blessing before it becomes a curse.


2. You rarely get to decide your style. Once you develop a style, others will tell you. Take this as a compliment, but with a grain of salt.


3. Never commit fully to a "style" unless you're 100% comfortable with it. Especially early in your career, try a lot of things before settling down. But don't ever settle down.


4. If you find that your style is becoming boring and slowing down your personal growth, change it and choose a new direction. It will be hard, but rewarding. If I use a style for a long time, I think it's a red flag. Even if other people like your "style," it may mean boredom for you. Don't confuse business success with personal happiness.


5. Don't try to hide your style. Your style will and should always show. Even if you're trying to solve the most difficult user experience problem in banking. Your personal opinion is important, and that's what separates good designers from bad ones.
