Care for co-workers. 

Show your coworkers that you care. Care about them as professionals and people. This will make a difference in creating an environment of honesty and trust at the office. Show that you value your coworkers as more then just people you work with. Everyone appreciates the little acts that acknowledge they are important to you.

Office Tip for Designers #3

Run with your ideas. 

From time to time, it's important to take your idea, jump on, and ride with it. It may lead you to failure, but every good idea comes after a large series of bad ideas have been tested. If you bury all your ideas before riding them, you are never going to get anywhere. Saddle up and take a risk. (we will deal with the inevitable sore ass later).

Network. 

Don't be afraid of the people you work for and with. Networking will not only give you professional contacts, but will give you valuable insight into how to build a successful career. Make sure people know who you are and what you can do. Doors can't be opened for you if no one knows where you live. Get out and be known. Ask for creative advice. Show your portfolio and resume to as many people as you can. People genuinely want to help you succeed, but you have to fight to get their attention.

Color your environment. 

It is impossible to be creative if you are staring at a gray wall all day. Do what you can to mix it up and bring some color into your workspace. Even something like a fish tank can make a difference. You are going to be spending the majority of your waking hours here, so make it a place esthetically pleasing.
