Right, don't sell yourself short on creating your own design. It will almost always be harder to replicate someone else's design, than to implement your own.

Your design is based on, your strengths, your preferences, and your awareness of your available materials and tools. And, on your knowledge of the exact problem.

And, even if it becomes an iterative process, each step will yield valuable insight. Which, makes you a better creator.
