Today we’re getting real about something a lot of designers are feeling but not always saying out loud: the industry is chaotic right now, and it’s way too easy to slip into complaining instead of creating.

In this episode, we unpack why frustration has become the default vibe for so many designers, how negativity loops quietly drain momentum, and why venting feels helpful even when it isn’t. We dig into comparison culture, the myth of “the perfect job,” and the trap of blaming companies or the market for everything that feels hard.

Most importantly, we talk about what is in our control: our craft, our curiosity, our willingness to explore and grow.

This is a call to take design seriously and take ourselves seriously as makers. Not in a rigid way, but in a creative, playful, let’s-get-better-together way.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or creatively stale, this one’s for you.

Listen in, stay curious, and stay weird.
