    I've worked with Canva so much that I don't know if there's any other tools that took my interest like that. There are many templates that's available that can make my work so easy.

    Big or small screen?

    I prefer a larger screen for design. It gives me more space to see details clearly and to arrange elements accurately. A smaller screen will make you to miss some little things that you don't want to miss.

    Even with the saturation in every niche, there's always room for someone who have what it takes, who can bring unique perspective or style to shine.

I love to express myself, solve problems and create things that are meaningful, these has been the reason I...

    How do you now feel about your first design?

    I can't say much but looking back at those early designs brings a mix of feelings. Almost all of them look rough but they remind me of how far I've come, how much I've grown and how the old tools have helped me so far. Those designs are not perfect but they are there to show the proof of progress.

    Do you design just for fun?

    I do that too. I can create designs for fun or when inspiration hits. It helps me to try new techniques, push my creativity without anybody's restrictions. Sometimes, those designs always turn out to be my best work because there's no pressure.

    High paying with unreasonable client or low paying with friendly client?

    Honestly, I won't like to work for a client who don't pay much. It will hit so hard when you are done and there's no value on the work. I prefer those clients that complains but pay fairly for the work because fair pay will give the energy and motivation to handle the challenges.

    What are the little things that new designers miss a lot?

    Newbies miss hierarchy and spacing. Good breathing space can make a design look good but not everybody knew about that. Using too many fonts is also a mistake that newbies miss.

    How do you how do you get people to look at your portfolio?

    Consistency is another thing to add. The more one show up, the more people recognize their work. Sharing parts of the process and posting the projects will make people build trust faster. Another is to join groups, engage and leave thoughtful comments on other people's portfolio, it will push...

    Freelancing or contract role?

    Both options have their good and bad sides but contract roles can't sustain one especially when the agreement ends. Freelancing is better because there's more control, freedom and chance to build steady clients at the same time. It will always help one to be more stable and grow your brand to...

    How has your approach to graphic design changed over the years?

    Experiences reshapes our approach naturally. The way we think, create or the tools we trust from the beginning will change because new techniques will always overshadow the old tools. AI is here and we have started dropping those tools that don't serves or make work more sweeter or clearer.

    Ever had a client that wants you to figure it out yourself?

    Honestly, I prefer the ones that give clear details, telling you exactly what they want because it saves time and there won't be any more confusion. It will help to deliver them something closer to their taste. Those clients that leave everything for you to figure out makes the work more stressful.

    Do you know that you can express yourself through graphics design?

    Graphic design is the real heart of storytelling. It's like speaking without your voice while colour and imagery will be the language. Yes, I have and it has been a way to communicate something real to people.

    Favourite task

    My favourite design task has to be layout polishing. I enjoy taking a rough idea and tightening the spacing, colours and balance until everything sits perfectly. It feels calm and satisfying and the before and after usually speaks for itself.

    Improving workflow is a big deal for me. I lean on a few scripts that really cut down stress, like “Batch Export,” “Rename It,” and “Automate Actions” for quick repetitive tasks. I also like using color-management scripts and smart-resize tools to speed things up. Anything that helps me move...
