It's okay to have a styling preference, but don't box yourself in too much! Especially when you're starting out. Minimalist design and creative design aren't mutually exclusive. As a freelance web dev, a lot of what you'll do is bring your clients' vision to life. Take time to learn about different design styles (neumorphism sent me into a rabbit hole!) and just make sure you don't sell yourself and skills short. Minimalist sites out of preference are great, but minimalism for the sake of avoiding more challenging and outside-the-box techniques will set you back from your goals.
