I'm excited to announce I'm starting a new job in January as a UI (user interface) designer. This change in career is causing me to want to solidify my understanding of what makes a good designer.

As I shared on Instagram:

First and foremost, designers are problem solvers, not icing spreaders. We make functional and structural decisions based on the task at hand, then make it look good. Every good designer works towards the best user experience and knows that form follows function.
