I also collect 'stuff', cool shaped bottles, fabric, postcards, bottle caps - like a 3D object scrapbook I guess. Needless to say, I have a lot of junk...

That's my happy place. When I get stuck, I find talking or showing my troubled work to other creative folk is really helpful. Working freelance and not having an educated outside opinion can be really dampening on your spirit, especially if you are too tuned into that little voice. I also agree with Tamara on the coffee point. Long black please … I also have a folder on my computer called “inspiration”. That’s my happy place.

I've always taken heart in knowing that we are all unique and though we get blown away by other peoples work, and often look disparangly on our own - it's good to remember that no-one can do exactly what you do - ie. we all have a unique contribution to make to the world. Also practically - (I picked this up from another designer once) I have folder on my computer just called "ideas/cool stuff" - whenever I see something I like on the internet I just grab a copy and chuck it in there - it provides lots of inspiration whenever I start new projects. I suppose its a digital scrapbook really.
