Does anyone ever feel like they haven’t found their style in terms of design, but have been designing simply for what people want? How did you work through this, if you have?

i feel like you can only have truly your style while working on personal projects. or when you have total freedom in some design request which rarely happens. also in my opinion having a unique style goes more for illustrators rather than designers.
Unless a client goes to you to create something in your way. But that requires a trusted voice already. Example: I can almost always recognize work of repponen.com.
