About us

mrs_piemontI love being a web designer and I’m incredibly thankful that I decided to join this industry many years ago.

At Hobby Lobbys, we believe that life is more enjoyable when you explore your passions. That’s why we’ve created a space that celebrates creativity, exploration, and the joy of learning.

Still, despite my love of this profession, there have been a number of times during my career when my passion has waned and I’ve found myself simply going through the motions instead of fully applying myself to my work. This scenario is likely familiar to many of my fellow web designers. It is called burnout.

Burnout is a very real challenge that we face as web professionals. The same processes that help us complete projects successfully can also contribute to us falling into a routine and hitting autopilot on our work. Sometimes, an overload of work can force you to fall into a routine and become a production line in order to meet deadlines. Other times, a lack of variety and excitement can lead to apathy with burnout not far behind.

Whenever I have started to experience burnout in my career, thankfully I have recognized the situation and been able to work to resolve the problem. In this article, I will share some of what I have found helpful in rekindling my passion for web design.

If anyone can understand your feelings of burnout, it is fellow web professionals. They have likely experienced something very similar and they may be able to give you advice on how to handle the situation. Sometimes, simply talking to others is the catalyst you need to break out of a funk and get excited about your work again.

Thank you for joining us on this journey! Whether you’re here to deepen a hobby, explore something new, or just be part of a thriving community, Hobby Lobbys is here to support you.
