Artist, Designer or Hack?

I discovered this article a few months ago.  First time I read it, I definitely felt a little panicked. “Oh no,” I said to myself, “I sound just like a hack!” Then I read further. Junior designer? That does sound better.  A year ago, I started seriously embarking on a journey to become a designer. I feel like I’ve grown tremendously in the past year, but I still have ridiculous strides to make before I can consider myself a real designer. Reading it again, I feel less anxious about the whole thing. Right now… I’m still pretty low-leveled, but at least I’m no longer on the bottom?
