I'm pretty much 100% self taught in design.
I get crazy imposter syndrome when I see what's being put out by the folks who can afford + have access to those crazy design schools.
Pondering how we can bridge that gap..
I created a plan for myself to literally sprint into 2019 with ultimate force.
Sharing a few screenshots for those it may inspire.
Wishing you all the best 👊
I can totally share the link if needed :)

Jumped on Blender this morning and followed some guides on how to illustrate fabrics..
This could be utilized for a product page to articulate the differences in the clothing's fabric..
will mock up later ⁜
The notion of "when I get a job here, I'll be set" is now completely out the door.
Noticing all the homies losing roles at these "well established" companies.
Yesterday, I discovered that I was being laid off from the company that I recently joined and moved out of my home country to Canada for.

Honestly I never thought ANYONE would want stickers or merch from me; but my friends online literally jumped on supporting the cause with the quickness.
Sharing this as a message to get started, you never know the outcome.
Taking in the “grief” now around the layoff.
Huge feelings of insecurity, anger, and frustrations.
Trying to keep my head up high, and it’s a challenge friends. ✌🏽🤎
- moved twice in 2023 🇺🇸 → 🇨🇦 → 🇺🇸.
- getting paid here and there for my 3D work 🥹.
- still working in web / product 💻
- I guess i'm a freelancer / contract worker now 🤷♂️.
- grateful for all of my friends.
- realizing there's plenty of healing / work to be done.
Officially booked till July for freelance gigs, heavily appreciate everyone that's reached out and shared opportunities with me.
Never thought I could pull off something like this. 🙇♂️
One thing you don't realize,
There are people right now looking up to you in silence.
//
With thoughts like:
"If they can do it, then so can I."
Keep that thought in your mind when things get hard.
🪴 Moment of joy.
Since leaving my previous job, I began to question myself in terms of if design was the career for me.
I didn't have a firm grasp on the product and my output wasn't the best.
Just got this message from a freelance gig I'm working on.
🌞 Feeling good.
⁙ opening up shop for contract freelance work ⁙
⁖ animations, 3D textures, (lite) 3D modeling, flyers, or fun things you can think of (*・ω・)ノ

or DM me 😌🌱
Few images from the apartment, the biggest lesson I took from this is to believe in the power of just creating — it all adds up to something much bigger overtime.
Moment of transparency.
Grateful 🙏 to just land this 2 month contract for some product design work.
As I started to look into the future I wasn't too sure where $$$ was going to come from.
I doubted myself.

The journey continues.
hey you ( *・��・)ノ✨
i'm a web based product designer -- who's eager to learn more around community, mental health, and dashboards *sometimes*.
feel free to DM me and say hello, for a warm welcome🏕️🫂.

We agree with Micah, who combines design with mindfulness in his work. Taking small steps everyday towards our goals leads to big results.

Achievement is nothing without appreciation.
Looking through my "success log" in notion (which I highly suggest you all start a document for wins.. big or small).
🚨 I'm giving away all of my UI secrets from now on. 🚨
I've noticed you can get some cool little visuals here and there -- with some simple changes.
So I want to share those little "recipes" from now on.

A close friend of ours recently moved to Seattle, we hosted a lil surprise presentation on living alone for the first time ❤️🔥✨
Starting to feel our own lil community growing IRL.

My favorite analogy - I used to spend 700+ hrs on vidya games and then I realized..
Wow this video game is a challenge within itself.. what if I applied this level of effort to "points" of my real life.
money = gold
knowledge = exp
and so on.
Before starting my new upcoming full time role, I'm taking a moment to clear out all of my personal to-do's and just declutter as much as I can.
Fresh chapter.
*sharing more soon*
not gonna lie, taxes, freelancing not by choice and selling stocks to pay rent really got me cooked
mentally and financially LOL.
makes me want to start applying to jobs again.. but I feel like my "role" has become so wide nowadays.
anyways
