You excel at experimenting and trying different styles and mediums. You wake up and ask yourself, “Who do I want to be today?” Predictability sounds like the worst. But with so many directions calling your name, you find it hard to plant your roots anywhere long enough to see what you're truly capable of.

NEEDS:

Freedom

Play

FEARS/CHALLENGES:

Consistency in practice

Developing depth along with breadth

Growth areas:

Commitment, identity

recommended practices:

Look for your signature elements: After each project or experiment, write down one element that you really love, like a color palette, subject matter, or technique. Over time, you'll notice patterns that reveal your preferences and converge on what makes your style.

The one project rule: Before starting something new, identify what in your most recent unfinished project needs to be done just enough. Close the loop imperfectly to build your body of work.
