It is tough to be a designer.As a designer, you are constantly surrounded by a kaleidoscope of shapes, colors and textures, perceived with almost all of your senses (I certainly won't be tasting any samples any time soon!). At the same time, you find yourself deeply immersed into your concept and your space plan, keeping track of all the numbers for necessary clearances, slip resistance factors, yardages and more.
It is a demanding job, always keeping me on my toes. The best ideas often come unexpected: while driving, in the shower, or perusing the latest European fashion magazines.
Yes, it is tough to be a designer...
Would I trade it for a different profession?
Never...

ReplyDeleteHi, Bozena,
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is a challenging job, but I find that one of the hardest parts (on top of keeping track of everything, of course!) is actually the same as what clients usually do - being surrounded by endless choices, each one seemingly better than the last. Thankfully, a rigorous design process makes narrowing things down a lot easier when doing projects for clients, but sometimes I end up in visual overwhelm at the end of the day. Don't even start me on what it takes to make decisions for my own home [g].
Generally, I actually enjoy dealing with all of the technical aspects (must be my medical/scientific background), but I share your frustration with the times when it hits me in the face that this otherwise very perfect selection just won't cut it for the intended purpose, and I have to literally go back to the drawing board.

Agreed. It is a tough job to be a designer however you'll find satisfaction with the outcome of your works and the appreciations you received from your satisfied clients and those people who have seen your work. Never give up of being a designer.
