Creativity doesn’t always require total freedom.

There are times being creative within a framework is just as effective, helping to achieve specific goals and solve problems.

As a designer, I've learned that rules can enhance creativity by providing structure that guides and refines it.

Of course, there are times when open, boundary-free creativity is essential, like during brainstorming or innovation sessions.

The key is knowing when to use each approach.
