Creativity In The Unknown
In the article, "If you want to be creative, you can’t be certain - Embracing ambiguity as a superpower" by Ida Persson, a uniwue perspective on creative thinking arises. Persson describes how working as a designer there is a pressure to deliver face-paced work, but through experiences working at Ideo Ida found that embracing uncertainty was more successful.

What I mean by this is that sometimes, you just have to get something down on the page—whether in digital work or traditional fine art. The key is to move past perfectionism and embrace the messiness of the initial stages. After all, being able to identify what doesn’t work is just as valuable as knowing what does. It's all part of the creative journey. If you would like to read Persson's article click the link below!
