The document provides a designer's thoughts on various aspects of design work. It discusses 10 tips - including using kindness, speaking in plain language, finding purpose in projects, checking ego at the door, being motivated on Mondays not just Fridays, viewing design as problem-solving not just executing ideas, starting with sketching to develop ideas, focusing on great work over awards, and giving tasks your full effort. The designer welcomes questions from other creatives.
