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?

For me, I started my career freelancing so personal style was a big focus. Historically, I’ve had difficulty toning it down when designing for big companies with conservative styles.
I’ve always aspired for the ideal scenario, where taste and style can be used as tools to achieve a goal. Examples include: - Feature films (Kubrick, Scorsese, Wes Anderson) - Fashion (Virgil and luxury streetwear) - Music (producers leaving their mark on each song)
So the real lesson here is to create volumes of work — over time, your personal style emerges and becomes apparent to you and everyone else!
