My Story

why i design

The Start

It all began during winter break of 2022 when my boredom sparked my creativity. With no school and soccer, I started experimenting with making graphics on Photoshop for my favorite athletes. From the first graphic I completed, I had the feeling graphic design was going to become a prevalent part of my life.

The Learning Process

My journey as a self-taught designer began with replicating YouTube tutorials. Through these videos, I learnt the fundamentals and realized my passion for design. As I got more comfortable and gained more experience, I branched out from tutorials and implemented my own style on my work. Still to this day, my designs are evolving and improving through new experiences. 

The Results

My hard work and determination have opened the door to unique opportunities and exciting projects. My experiences have allowed me to continually improve my design skills and improve my portfolio. What started out as a small hobby has turned into a skill that has given me employment opportunities. I hope to continue to reap the rewards of my hard work.
