This is me.
I am a Graphic Designer, and I write this very much identifying with that as a person and as a practice.
In terms of interests in topics and areas of practice, I believe that design is fluid, it is everything and comes from everywhere. I can find inspiration through the most unexpected vessels, and I think that trying to define and constrict my context would limit my span and restrict me as a designer. However, I do believe that design is all about making, and solving. If there is design, it is there for a reason. If design is there, it is new. Innovative. And I am design. You know how some say, “you are what you eat”, I think that as designers “we are what we design”, and so this notion is very much self-reflective in the sense that I too am always trying and always pushing myself to learn and grow and better myself as a human being.
What is living if you are not growing and improving?

What is living if you are not growing and improving?
Besides the ability to use graphic design software as a Graphic Designer, I absolutely feel design, as though it were an itch longing to be scratched. And my mission is, essentially, to scratch it.
Despite being a creative myself and being very much integrated into the global creative community courtesy of the internet and social media, I choose not to put anyone’s work on a pedestal (arguably except my own). The reason for this is simple. We’re all in this together. I see no reason why I should base myself off other people’s work, when I am on my own creative journey. With seemingly limitless amounts of magic we could all make, why make knock-offs of someone else’s work when you can revel within your own mind and conjure up your own greatness?
Revel within your own mind and conjure up your own greatness.
