Confessions of a flawed designer
summary
A candid account of going from defensive mythmaking to deliberate practice: claim is that ego and craving for praise block problem solving, remedy is to listen with intent not for validation, open-source design assets and teach through workshops and videos, and use Figma plus Blush as the actual tools. Evidence: workshops, YouTube courses and the Blush libraries exist and people create work with them, and the final payoff is practical — acceptance and usable creations.
