A few months ago, I lost a potential client because I didn't know Framer. They needed a website built on the platform, and I had to admit I'd never used it. That rejection stung, but it was the wake-up call I needed.
From that day forward, I dove into Framer. Started with practice projects for my partner and a friend who needed websites. Nothing fancy, just learning by doing.
Fast forward to today, here's my new site: https://www.tonylure.com/
Could I keep tweaking it forever? Absolutely. Will I ever feel it's 100% perfect? Probably not. But I've learned that "done is better than perfect" isn't just a saying – it's survival.
As creatives, we're wired to see every flaw, every detail that could be better. But sometimes you have to ship despite that inner voice.
How do you deal with perfectionism in your work?
I’ve been revisiting some old passion projects lately, the ones I made just for fun. Back then, I’d go for walks, take photos and later turn them into poster ideas.
Curious to know: what kind of just-because projects do you all work on? And where do you usually find inspiration when it’s not “for work”?
