Across every group I’ve trained, the same thing su Across every group I’ve trained, the same thing surfaces - it’s a lack of confidence - the gap between knowing colour theory and trusting a colour decision enough to stand behind it. Many learners carry quiet anxiety about getting it 'wrong'. A lot of my teaching is really about easing that — giving people a way of working that lets them trust their eye, and, their third eye. When the fear of being wrong lifts, the creativity that was waiting underneath finally has room to be seen. If you teach, you’ll know this gap. How do you help learners move through it? #DesignEducation #ColourTraining #CreativeConfidence #InteriorDesignEducation #Teaching
