“Step outside the box.”
I hear this expression over and over again from many of my colleagues. And it always makes me a little nervous. It feels forced — as if we have to make an effort to be different; we don’t. Let your own individual uniqueness express itself naturally.
I grew up very poor in Panama, and I was forever captivated by all the beautiful things around me that I could not have. This gave me a keen eye for beauty, and this early appreciation has turned out to be a significant part of my work today. Your own life experience is always your greatest asset. Don’t work against it; just be who you are.
And forget about trends! Want to be different? Look within. You’ll be amazed at the many hidden treasures you’re storing.
