Working on design or designing work?

May 08, 2025

I am not a UX person just an enthusiast with a mouse and access to figma. But I can make pretty slick UI if you give me time. Recently I found myself designing a lot. Way more than in the recent few years. I guess when you have a burst of inspiration to do that thing you just do it. But I realized that after some time it was becoming painful, exhausting and judgmental. I kept looking for perfection in every pixel, every corner and always asking is there a better way. Well, what I realized is sometimes you just have to let it go, let it be. There will always be a different way, perhaps better but it might not be the right way. Sometimes imperfection is what gives it character and eyeballs.
