Designers of GV, show us your workspace! What's the most unique or essential item that boosts your creativity?

It's it practice practice and practice or just whatever you did at work was enough?

I know it ain’t much, but it’s honest work. Looking to amp it up, suggestions and reference welcome

Hey folks, I am setting up my desk for the first time after a long time. Currently my desk is completely empty with just a laptop on it. What are some items that you would consider buying. Give me all the ideas and links if possible. Want to make this awesome

So, I want to try this challenge where I will design what you guys ask me for. Sooooooooo, get creative and I will post the work here and you guys can judge? Oh! This is gonna be fun...can't wait to show my work!

I have an idea that I want to work on, it’s not unique but solves a real world problem. While I can sort out the end to end implementation from engineer side of things, currently struggling with “designers block” (not sure if that’s a thing, but you get my point). I have very basic design, but i feel a good design can bring the app to life. Here are my thoughts- - Tried looking on dribble but mostly people leave one or two screenshots and that too without the figma/prototype. - where do you guys take inspiration from while working on any new idea? - Considering I want to hire someone, what would be an approximate cost of an app of 8-10 screens. (apologies in advance, this might sound stupid but not sure how designer charge) - Considering I want to learn/improve stuff, where do i start? have worked with figma and xd in past, can draft an average UI.

I’ve noticed that many designers tend to have an inclination towards some or the other art form - often sketching/painting, but can include music, dance and acting too. It’s been observed that practicing different art forms can actually help to feed creativity into each other. The explorations from one can serve as inspiration for another. Speaking for myself, I play guitar and sing. And I’ve found it to be a nice way to just unwind - though have not felt much of it feed into my professional work. Would love to hear from others here, if you have an art form that you tap into for work inspiration or otherwise. :)

Guys I am a developer with 4 years of experience and I want to switch to Product Designing. What should I expect from industry? Any suggestions?
