You don’t wake up in the morning to be no one
The Great Journey
What does an average day look like for you as a designer and content creator?
As a brand designer and content creator, no two days are the same. I usually start my day with a coffee and then head off to my studio. Early on in this journey, I knew I couldn’t work from home, so I found a nice little studio space where I work, make content, and store my gear.
The first thing I do when I get to the studio is admin work: replying to emails, writing my to-do list, checking my content calendar, and all that boring stuff that nobody likes to do. I’m not a morning person, so I prefer to do all these things at the beginning of the day so my creative brain can wake up. Then, I start working on my client projects or record content for my social accounts – it depends on how much work I have and how close my client deadlines are.
At around 6 PM, I leave my studio and sometimes finish tasks from home – that’s the beauty (or the curse) of not having a boss or official office hours.
How did you get into brand design?
After I graduated in June 2021, it dawned on me that while I had a degree in Design, I didn’t know who I was as a designer. I had no idea how to make a good logo, let alone an entire brand identity.
During the pandemic, I started watching creators like Kel Lauren, Paola Kassa, and Abi Connick on YouTube, and for the first time, I saw someone doing something I loved – and doing it their way. So, that summer, I set a goal to create one branding identity per week and post it on Instagram.
