Unique stressors designers face....

I enjoyed the advocacy for mental health among designers by Barney and his spouse during their session at adplist.org's BeMore festival.... 🤓

There's a dilemma in the design industry.... 😅

Statistically, designers are happier in their roles than in most other industries. It is because the proportion of people who are doing what they are doing because they enjoy it is quite higher in design than in most other industries.... 🤓

But, that doesn't make us free from stress. The design industry has its own set of prominent stressors:

1. Unfavourable criticism [as it is subjective to a greater extent]

2. The pace of the industry is much faster than the process of the craft

3. Burnout

4. Unfavourable deadlines

5. Unclear briefs and directions

6. Imposter syndrome

7. Creative block

To name a few.... 🥲

What stresses you the most...? :3
