If it seems like a designer seems to be spending all their time telling others how to be a designer, giving tips and tricks and advice— they probably are. They probably aren’t spending any time designing anything (anymore).

A lot of designers realize they can transition into being “personalities” who sell advice to aspiring individuals instead of design services to clients. In the process, there’s a decent chance they lose grasp with what designing for clients or companies is even like anymore.
