How do you handle UX Design? (programming.dev)

How do you handle design when working a project that doesn’t have explicit design guidelines?

I’ve been working on some personal projects, but I am continually getting held up on design. I hate looking at a blank page, not knowing where to start. I’m not a particularly creative person in art and design and I really struggle to come up with new ideas on my own. I don’t enjoy it.

I’m the kind of person who buy 10 plain black t-shirts and 5 pairs of plain jeans so I never have to think about style.

I’m sure there are a lot of us out there; you can make the thing but, not design it. How do you work that part of the process?

I don’t want my projects to get skipped over because they’re ugly and I don’t want to copy other designs pixel for pixel.

Just build your ugly thing then look up some designs and copy the parts you think are a good fit for you project.
