Designer vs Developer: Creators in WordPress

Sara Cannon
Sara Cannon

The document discusses the challenges and stereotypes individuals face in the fields of design and development, emphasizing self-imposed limitations like not being creative or skilled enough. It encourages readers to embrace their latent abilities and to overcome fears of failure to foster a more inclusive mindset in creative work. Key traits of a 'golden unicorn' in this context include fearlessness, a willingness to learn from failures, and trusting one's instincts.
