How consistent writing makes you a better designer

22 minutes · October 21st, 2019

If you are a designer and want to become better in what you do, then start writing. In this episode, Eugeniu is talking about how consistent writing will help. To be honest, I never was much of a writer. When this website was only about my photography, I was not too fond of writing a text to each post. Even writing my Bachelor's and Master's thesis wasn't always fun. My native language is German, and it took me some time to became more fluent in English writing. Like often in life, things change. I realized how much writing helped me structure my thoughts, communicate more explicit, and help others to grow.
