Kate’s Answer

Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Outliers" mentions the "10,000-Hour Rule", claiming that the key to achieving world-class expertise in any skill, is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing the correct way, for a total of around 10,000 hours. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple to just crank out designs for 10,000 hours... Good design isn't about quantity, it's about quality. What makes a great designer? Killer typography? An eye for color? Groundbreaking conceptual thinking? How do you develop that? Follow designers on social who are doing work that excites you. Learn design software and create work for friends and family. Going to design school is the best way to kick start an amazing career. Hope that helps and if you have any questions feel free to reach out.
