When it comes to creating a sustainable growth pattern for your future, people will often tell you that quality is better than quantity, and this is absolutely true.

That being said, quality follows quantity and is dependent on the volume of work to hone the skills necessary to create a real quality design.

Today, we’ll be covering the critical relationship between quality, quantity, and how you can use the frequency of your work to vastly
improve your designs.

Quantity comes first

Anytime you start something new or do something again for the nth time, the total volume of your work increases. This is nothing new, not a novel concept, but it belies a subtle clue about the quality that is often overlooked.

Have you ever heard of a composer that creates only masterpieces? Have you ever heard of an architect who only turns out phenomenal designs? Names and works may come to mind, but it is important to remember that “experts are made, not born,” and the key to becoming one is through dogged, relentless practice.
