So, why did I choose to study graphic design?
I’ve always loved being creative. Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had projects going on, even if it was drawing, painting, making things with my hands and putting things together. As I got older, my creative side evolved into photography, digital drawings and web design. But, life happens, and during my early 20’s, all of my interests in this field sort of died out, which is such a shame, and something I’ll never forgive myself for.
After high school, I struggled so much to figure out what I wanted to do. I hated school, and because of that, my grades were not good enough for me to get into any studies I truly cared to try out. So I started working in retail, which was okay at first, but quickly became draining and boring. I wanted something more, without having to study my ass off!
Online studies was something I’d looked into for many years, and for someone who loves a flexible schedule, traveling, and not having to show up for lessons, it was just perfect. And why not dive back into my old interests and find my way back to my creative side while I’m at it?
Graphic design was just the perfect choice. And I’m so excited to share my journey with you.
