Behind every memorable children's book, there is a thoughtful creative process. From the first sketch to the final painting, every element is carefully crafted to convey emotion, magic, and personality.
My goal is to transform manuscripts into visual experiences that captivate children and create memories that families will cherish for generations.

I set a goal to get back to life, to the industry, so I'll write down everything I notice that raises questions here.
I'm doing this as a personal challenge to get back the urge to write on social media and ask for support ❤️ + 🐐
Today I was browsing a job board and noticed something I keep running into when looking for projects: "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 '𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥' 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥! 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯."
And I keep wondering: does a written phrase really show a designer's motivation to potential clients?
If anything, it demotivates me to respond to a listing like that. I get filled with this strange, uneasy feeling.
Is this a filter for attentiveness, or just a game of obedience? Curious what you think.
I also experience discomfort with these types of job postings. I think it’s more about obedience. They are not hiring for your professional perspective, but for your ability to follow rules
Hi, Contra Community! Designing a pricing page is never easy (especially if it's authentic content). How do you think we should position the buttons from a UX perspective?

Always in the middle. The other option just looks misaligned.
What do you remember most about your first freelance client?
Mine was definitely not perfect, but I learned a lot from it.
Would love to hear how everyone got started.
I remember my first client was quite patient, as at the very beginning, of course, I didn't always understand what he was asking of me due to my inexperience. I'm grateful to him and was very glad that five years ago, they first came to me for my work.
