Back in 2006, I was deep in the freelance world, doing UI design for all sorts of companies.
Somehow, Adobe ended up reaching out to me to do some exploratory UI work for a mobile design product they were working on.
I worked on the project for exactly 9 days and then, spectacularly, emailed my contact and backed out of the job, telling them I wasn't qualified and was in over my head.
🤦♂️
Here I was, fresh out of school, trying to build a freelance business & one of the biggest design companies *on earth* reaches out & wants to take a chance on me.
And I just blew it.
I now *prefer* to be out of my element and quickly get bored when I'm comfortable.
