That other people like my designs is priceless.
When I was 16 years old, I was doing my internships at an advertising agency and I remember that they sent me to make sketches for a client's logo. You do not know how exciting and happy I was when my logo was chosen among several others that were made even by very experienced designers. It is an emotion that even today, despite my entire career, is still intact.
Thanks for your excellent entry! Congrats on a well deserved win!
