Not Enough Design isn’t about kerning or
case studies or color palettes.
It’s about what happens after the file is
saved for the day.
The 2a.m. conversation in a half-lit studio.
The critique that left you speechless.
The rejection email you laughed off.
The quick stare into the void, laptop half-closed.
It’s envy, burnout, joy, purpose, doubt.
It’s the green room, the staff room,
the negative space.
The third coffee run of the day.
The voice memo, not the pitch deck.
It’s design culture, not design output.
Welcome to Not Enough Design.

“My cast silicon parts, for a semester project, were compared to used condoms in open critique.”

“I once cried in the office bathroom because my boss looked at my final screens and asked if these were ‘initial prototypes’. I still think about it every time I open Figma.”

No spams, no tracing, no judging.
I opened the drafts folder tonight. Not by accident — by ritual. An ever-growing black hole of a mausoleum I dust off once a year.
