Erica’s Question or Topic

Erica is an industrial designer. She draws engineering models for work, and at the same time, she loves doing other activities such as creating graphics and posters. Erica’s problem is how to put everything together. She’s being on hard on herself and thinks that she’s not good enough and that is hindering her to put her stuff out for the world to see.

Gary’s Story and Advices

For Gary, the reason why Erica is hard on herself is because she is insecure with other people’s feedback and he doesn’t want Erica to be. Her artwork is amazing that even Gary commissioned her to do some posters that he can hang in his office. What Erica should do is to not hear both the good and the bad feedback and just do what she loves to do.
