My best advice for you is to look at good designs and figure out why they are so good. Then try to replicate them in your own way.

Whenever I start on a design I gather several reference layouts so my mind can think about how to best put things together.

Then get great feedback from other designers. I happen to have a lot of friends in the space that help me.
