Oscar-winning Australian designer Catherine Martin has some words of wisdom for people who choose the creative path.
"I feel proud of the work we've done, proud that I managed to do it, and it's up to everyone else now to judge whether it's good, bad or indifferent. Some people may like it and others might not, but you have to accept that if you're going to pursue a more risky path."
On the importance of passion:
"I'm in it for the journey, and I don't mind a few ups and downs...Success can't be the only reason you do something like this. You've got to like the process and the people and enjoy going to work each day; otherwise it's a very lonely, frustrating and unsatisfying game."
Great career advice and a good reminder to understand the "why" behind why we choose the work we do.
