Creative professionalism
Reflection of professionalism on the creativity. Not being able to say “I create, and can’t be bothered by the rest”. To want to see the reflection of what you created on the balance or the future of the company, as well as on the people. If it’s a dress design, to want it to be sold and used, not left in a page of a fashion magazine. Seeing its comfort and usefulness if it’s an architectural design. Aiming, for people to get inside and shop rather than watch with admiration if it’s a shop window, or even achieving it”
It’s sometimes being captured by this ambition. Falling in love with the beauty of your own idea, but fearing from it at the same time. Facing the dilemmas and enjoying it as well as feeling sad!
You are going to say that “These sound nice”. It’s not important that they sound nice. It’s important that it can go deeper. It is beautiful when it’s just creativity. But professionalism also puts worry in it. After all, the definition of professionalism has the concept of “someone else’s money”. That someone else’s money determines your position and future. Therefore, you need to follow it.
You sometimes even think on its behalf despite it.
So be it, after all, isn’t it a part of the job?
