As a lil design student right now you're so inspiring. I am always thoroughly engaged throughout your videos and your aesthetic is beautifullllll. Keep doing you

Loose brush hairs are pretty common for new brushes, especially cheaper ones. One thing you can do is just wash your brush and rub off as many stray hairs as you can before you start painting. And consider higher quality brushes (I love the ones from Rosemary & Co).

so happy that I got recommended this by KZfaq! I've been hoping to come across fellow creatives who incorporate their practice in their videos! Loved this recollection of the things you did, nicely balanced with the voice-over! I went to the LA art book fair, too! Back when I was visiting. Still working on all of my images from LA. I subscribed! Happy to see more of your work pop up in my feed!

Loved this vid so much 🥺🥺 thanks for showing us your newest projects and how you get design inspo!! ❤❤

I couldn’t agree more about the rewarding feeling of creating long form content! I feel like it’s helped me really enjoy the process and remember to have fun. Loved this so much and your design work!

love your edits and the way you storytell!! soo glad the algorithm brought me to your channel! inspiring :)

Creatives sharing their lives on YT are an instant Subscribe from me! My boyfriend and brother are both Art Directors and I am a content marketing specialist and water-colour artist, meaning I am always surrounded by designs, arts and marketing material. Seeing you breakdown your day as a GD inspires me. I too wish to some day start a channel from the pov of a writer, but until then I am here, doe-eyed watching you live. Much love! 🤗 Niki.

omg this vlog is so fun and artsy!! i'm discovering new parts of LA through you!

came across this video as an almost-24-year-old planning my move near los angeles with a design career 😭 am feeling so burnt out and anxious but this video was a nice little reminder to go out & experience the world !! this industry is just so exceedingly exhausting, demanding, and fast-paced & making/doing things you want starts to feel like a luxury. in reality we should be experiencing things and people and places. the productivity guilt is reallll, especially when you work from home. i hope you enjoy what los angeles has to offer & continue to nurture your mental health!!

Thank you for doing this 💖 I really enjoy your videos

first time on your channel, and I know I will stay! I really needed this to hear it's ok to stumble.

ugh i wanted to go to the LA book fair but i was out of town :( it looked so fun, i'm glad you got to go!! i also got my type01 mags a few months ago and i'm in love

Hello! I was looking for channels more vlog+life style and I found yours. As I know the importance of supporting people at the start of a new project, I wish you every success and I will start following you, your content is great, I hope it grows a lot.❤️

Super cool to watch your vid's and get another perspective from a fellow designer's life! When you said about being productive every day and feeling bad when you weren't I was like THAT'S ME! It's nice to know you are not alone in these mind battles :-) I should also look at books more as I've become to obsessed with Pinterest lately and I feel we can all start looking the same as we're looking at the same inspo

I genuinely enjoyed this :)

I'm so happy i came across your youtube channel, love it love it

always looking forward to the videos yayayay

I am a graphic designer and I love your designs , keep growing ❤

Im from Brazil and Im gonna study graphic design next year and I LOVE you channel so much get always so inspired! 😍

I really loved this video, don’t hesitate to revisit this day in the life category again and again.

always love watching ur videos it's very healing and inspiring!! sending love from the ph

That book, "The search for self in early adulthood" is SO GOOD. I got through it so quickly and it really resonated with me. It wasn't just some self-help book throwing the same advice at you and I think any age group should read it tbh! Side note: I loved watching this :) I'm also a graphic designer and just graduated in the summer and I'm about to be in the same sort of situation as you. Very comforting to see!

Just discovered your channel, I love the aesthetic of your videos and your designs. I'm currently stuck/lost and haven't really figured out what path as a Designer I should take even though I've been a designer for a few years already. I also plan on making a youtube channel to document my process to overcome it hopefully. Thanks for inspiring!

Thank you so much. So inspirational.

wait i swear we live parallel lives except we're on totally opposite sides of the world :,) that art book fair looks so so sick too !!! love the way u show us around LA, can't wait to see more

i am sorry about the audio my mic broke!!!!!! send me mic recommendations if u have any

Love this video ❤😊

The cinematography is on point🥰🥰🥰

Admired your vlogs. Keep it up!

With Gouache Paint - you can try and work on a paper based canvas - you’ll find the paint itself will feel smoother and that might help with the brush issue as well - also the quality of brushes might also be a problem🫶🏻

Your voice is so soothing ❤

This was so refreshing to watch, love love watching how different yet similar creative people around the world are! I loveee going to art/book flea markets to collect some fresh inspirationn. Loved watching this video, keep it uppp!

Inspiring, as a design student, this is what I want life to be like one day for me :)

Love book and magazines review!

this video makes me so excited to go find inspiration irl :)

Thank you for inspiring and for that hug :')

Your journey dragged me back to visual design. I'd love to ask if you could share resources where you learnt from, especially designing with figma

She is a beautiful artist :)

Thank you for the hug 🤗

8:53 saaaammeee! i’m from the bay area so i don’t understand weather either.😂😂😂

Your brushes are wild 😂 I feel like painting is all about quality you don't need to have many brushes, but the quality is very important, same about the paint.

man! youre 24 and rock at life!! hell yeah!

try using gouache in a good cold pressed paper, there's where it shines ;)

I paint. The cheaper brushes (the ones you get in the little sealed plastic bags usually lose alot of hairs. Try buying the individual ones that are more expensive they don't lose hairs on to your canvas

I am a graphic designer and I love your designs

sooo happy youtube recommended your video. love hearing about what other creatives in the la area are doing. i'm an editorial writer, so i really enjoyed your process of finding inspiration. might just have to grab the feeling of falling in love. have you started it??

I feel the same as I am married handling adulthood but yeah dream is still to solopreneur and take a world wide trips first stop would be NYC though

What I would give for a work day that ended by 6pm!

nova por aqui. amando seu conteúdo sobre design e coisas. :)

I'm just a French high school student who found out what she wanted to do later: graphic design. Your video is really good and your work is admirable. I just wanted to ask if maths is an important subject in this field (I have a lot of questions about my future lol). Thanks again for the inspiration

No substitute for tangible objects. ❤ print rules!

i should do one of these too. i mean i live in iran and mostly is crying and stressing and panic attacks but yea i should do one of these

Omg, I’m a designer from LA too! I feel the same, I’ve been trying to balance design and life this year and I think it’s going well. Lol and I totally agree that LA has so much good food. What is your favorite places to eat?

hey do u have any advice with starting graphic designing, I'm 15 right now and I believe I have a lot of potential when it comes to graphic designing, also super cool video!

AAAaaaa…. AKSARA SUNDA in 2:50 minute ❤

do you sell prints? your design is exactly my vibe 🤩

Hi Katrina. I love your videos. I did try to ask over Instagram what programme you used to create your Insta reels but it wouldn’t let me.. just wondered if you used an app for Instagram or Final Cut or something? Thank you! Great video.

Please where is ur desk from love it

1:20 Did you make this newspaper design in Illustrator or InDesign? Love your videos!

Could u do a where to start your portfolio for graphic designer

I'm a graphic design student from New Zealand and I plan on moving to America when I graduate but I can't choose between LA or NYC. Which city would be better for a freelancer?

"we both look really bad here but he's actually really good apparently" HGLEATHLAHRLHA

Could you do a clip about UX/UI Design please. Thanks 😊

hey katrina! as a creative myself this was inspiring to watch. i'm interested in getting into branding and was wondering if you had any recommendations for packaging mock ups? the figma mockup plugin doesnt have many product options. thanks so much and keep it up!

2:38 tamil 😍

love the video, please invest in a pop filter though

hii :) can you please suggest some good design books,

How to be freelance design graphic from anywhere?

love this video, but DAMN! that's a lot of paint brush hairs in your paint...you weren't kidding...you could role your cat across your painting and it would leave fewer hairs than those brushes...

Sorry in advance for the question, but how do you pay your rent? Let me explain: I am an Italian art director, graphic and motion designer and from the video I missed the way you work. I didn't see anything commercial or saleable, just beautiful graphics for us designers. Maybe la in california is different or for privacy reasons you didn't want to show commercial projects on video, I don't know, I'm just curious, I hope you appreciate the question, I'm not asking it maliciously.

rick sorkin!

love ur vid editing! :> there are plosives though here and there in the audio which makes it a lil difficult to listen to. new sub here nonetheless!

Hello i am from India i am graphic designer

The way your cat looked your BF 😁

0:50 I can not believe my eyes, was that kebab(Turkish Kebab)

Not just your 20s but your 30# and 40s as well

*Me 👉👈 7:23 to 7:43

finally ı found graphic designer using Figma just like mee

Hiiii in Sofía, I live in Los Angeles and I am a fotographer, would you like to consider collab with me?we can go to echo park and have a photoshoot? Jajajajaaj Im new in the city 😊

Love this video! But I don't think it's ~*lame*~ to spend your your weekends on your craft or bettering yourself. 😅 A lot of people are masters of their craft because of constant practice and self-development. Social media is really demonizing "hard work" and "productivity" and that's why we're all so mediocre at what we do, especially creatives. 😅

Btw you are cute

Graphic design is a terrible career choice. The problem is that it is too subjective and complicated. The Creative Director can basically make up any excuse or reason not to hire you including you use the wrong colors, they don't like your style or even if you are better than they are. It's also oversaturated and undervalued. Basically there are literally an infinite amount of styles, trends, software programs, industries, deliverables and skillsets in the field. What this means is that when you apply to a job, the odds of you getting hired are basically 0. And if you do happen to be a good "match" there will likely be thousands of other designers you're competing with. And now with AI everything is just getting worse.

Hi! Just found your page! I’m a graphic designer as well, but I was wondering….how did you get a graphic design gig? I’ve been trying to for basically over a year now. Just wondering if you had tips that helped you get a job? 🫶🫶
