Personal style isn’t a decision. It’s the residue of repeated decisions made under constraint.
Look at what you already do
The patterns are there. They’re just invisible to you. Show six pieces to a stranger and ask what they have in common.
Stop fighting your defaults
The mark you make when you’re not paying attention — that’s the seed.
Edit ruthlessly
A portfolio of ten strong pieces beats a portfolio of forty mixed ones. A coherent style is what the missing work tells you.
