Finding balance as a graphic designer

[LewisJam]

Hello! I’ve been a graphic designer for years, sometimes in an office, sometimes at home. How can I stay creative and productive without feeling like I’m missing out on teamwork?

Hello! I used to feel exactly the same - when I worked from home, I worried about losing the energy that comes from bouncing ideas around in an office. A few months ago, I read about hybrid practices on basilandbark.com and decided to test them. I started by setting up virtual brainstorming boards where everyone could drop sketches and comments anytime. To my surprise, this actually made collaboration stronger because people had time to refine their thoughts before sharing. I also made it a habit to join weekly office sessions for team synergy, while keeping deep creative work for home. Now I feel balanced, connected, and more productive than before.
