If you go to 95% of architects or interior designers, they will give you designs that are largely representative of current trends, which is incidentally what most people want.

Very few people in creative industries are truly pushing that industry into new frontiers, and that is actually appropriate. Exploring outside the frontier is actually full of failure, and far less likely to produce something most people want.

I honestly think that people operating outside of the frontier of established creative trends technically have a completely different set of skills, and a completely different job altogether, than people who create within the boundaries.
