January 2, 2026 · 42 min

Show notes

In this episode, I’m joined by Gareth Robertson; designer at Gr-aphic Studio to talk all about his recent experience with completing a 100 day design challenge.

After getting a confession from a creative who said they started a 100 day design challenge and gave up after 1 week, we talk about what it’s like to keep pushing and complete a challenge like this

Gareth and I talk all about accountability, pushing yourself, protecting your creativity and the pressure we feel to be perfect when creating.


The Creative Confession™ we're discussing: “I started a 100 day design challenge and gave up after 1 week. I was posting the designs daily but I wasn't getting anywhere it felt like a waste of my time. Is it even worth it?”
