I LOVED this video, definitely do some more of these! I love the insight into your work life, can you do a video speaking more in depth about your Graphic design journey? I had to search through your Q&A haha! Can you also maybe touch on what parts of Graphic design you like working on, is it more digital, illustration, etc? I like hearing that not all people are cookie cutter and love learning what their niche interest is! Thanks! Keep up the great work!

Hi! I loved the video!!! It's amazing how you completely changed the vibe of the logos but still kept it as their own thing. They're new and original! I'm studying to become a graphic designer and I'm leaning into advertising design but also loving the idea of branding. Do you know if an advertising designer can do logos and branding too? Also, I'd love to work as a designer for a company but also be able to keep my service open to freelance, do you think that's a possible thing?

Have a Post going out on my Instagram addressing this next week! and a video in 6-8 week, my advice would be to focus on building an online presence, do your own passion projects showcasing your skills, and show your work off on Instagram, tiktok, pinterest etc. then businesses will approach you!
