Book: Show Your Work

Book: Show Your Work

Over the long weekend, I read this book called Show Your Work by Austin Kleon. It made for a short, easy and inspiring read.

I came across this book as a recommendation from Domestika’s ‘Design a Mobile App‘ course by Christian Vizcarra. If you are like me and struggle to show your work online, then this book nudges you to

  1. Keep a work journal - become a documentarian of what you do and your inspiration.

  2. Get comfortable with showing work in progress. Show process, Contributing something is better than contributing nothing.

  3. Tell stories. If you want to be more effective when sharing yourself and your work, you need to become a better storyteller.

And finally….

You can’t find your voice if you don’t use it.
