Sometimes the best way to improve an idea is simply to create it, share it, and learn from the process.
Keep creating. Keep improving. 🚀
I used to strive for perfection, but recently I’ve realized that trying to make everything perfect just makes me create less.
I spend so much time wondering whether an idea is good enough that sometimes, I end up not making anything at all.

The word "perfectionist" is just another word I find strange. You can't always be perfect... there is nothing like a perfect body of work.
Your opinion may differ ♡

I perfectly agree with you Bolaji. Sometimes in the bid of trying to make something perfect we remove the life out it.
What can you add to your portfolio to make it a little more personal?
I love to write, and I've always kept a journal (often several on the go at once). I thought it'd be nice to add a work journal to my website so that my clients and colleagues can explore my processes and the messy inner-workings of my brain.
Have a look at: https://www.onyourtiptoes.com/journal and have a click through my highlights below.
It only took a couple of hours to build in Figma and Framer, but now the real challenge is keeping the entries going!
In spirit of building in public being more popular than ever, I'd love to see what you're making at the moment too. Let me know in the comments and we can share notes 💌
This is so cool @Cara Ellis. What is everyone else making?
Wouldn’t it be fun to hear your own design as a song?
The newest Suno model, V6, lets you create a soundtrack from your own visuals.
I tried out V6 Mini, which is free for everyone, and asked it to create a song inspired by the visuals I shared in my previous post.
And the result? I really love how it turned out. It captured the mood of the visuals so well, and I got this on my first try too!
You can try feeding it your own design and see what it comes up with!
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this little music track! 🎵
