The feeling of learning builds confidence, and repetition builds skill. We don’t start out as the version of ourselves who is “good” at something. We become that person by being “bad” at it and doing it over and over anyway. The feeling that we’re learning propels us forward.

Even if you’re not a super visual person or someone who works with images a lot, moodboarding is an incredible tool for any situation that requires creative and visual thinking. Moodboards help you collect ideas and reference material, and provide a way to translate abstract ideas into concrete visual examples. Leaning into a feeling and sensory-based process provides context for your ideas. What’s hard to describe in words can often be better conveyed through images.
But not all mooodboards are created equal.
