The Fabled Thread | Join our Studio

Is my work recognizable and distinctive? Do I have a signature style? These are questions I think lots of creatives grapple with - whether working professionally or on personal projects. It’s challenging to see your own work as others do; we’re often too close to it. However, occasionally, we face a task that forces us to confront the question, "What is my style?"

Recently I have been working a complex collaboration that has really made me grapple with the idea of my own style, if it even exists. So in this article I wanted to dig into the idea of having a signature style and if it’s something you have to develop and define if you want to work as a designer?

The brief that’s got me worried

Over the last month, I have been working on a project that’s completely pushing me out of my comfort zone.
