How I Became A Designer

This is my story of becoming a designer with a lot of failure, sleepless nights and hard work.

After my high-school, I was done with institutionalized education. I decided to take a year off to figure out how I can teach myself how to design. And I did via YouTube. 

A year later somehow I landed a job as a junior web designer. After being terrible for a year, they fired me. My confidence was all time low. Almost thought I can never become a good designer.

Miraculously, I was hired as a graphic designer without the knowledge of Adobe Illustrator. Learned  day and night to do a decent job. I finally started gaining confidence. More hustle to get better. 

Fast-forward 10 years, I have worked with clients like Nike, FIFA World Cup Qatar, Emaar, NEOM, PowerHorse, KFC and many more in various fields from Marketing to Advertising to Events. 

Thanks for reading!
