I’m happy to have wrapped up my first project! It’s more appealing to showcase the wins, but behind this figure lie over 150 opportunities I applied for where I never heard back from anyone. So, my message is: don’t give up.

Happy August!☀️
A new month always feels like a fresh page.
The last month came with his share of challenges, unexpected turns, and plenty of lessons. Not everything went according to plan, but every obstacle pushed me to become a little better at what I do.
This month, I’m aiming even higher - better ideas, stronger animations, and more ambitious projects.🚀
What’s one goal you’re determined to achieve this month? I’d love to hear it.
I’m continuing work on an advertising project; these are the beautiful bubbles that turned out.
looking great, super realistic!
I've been having the same issue and I'm really struggling to keep my profile moving forward. I comment on posts, write case studies, and apply for roles. I spend at least 20 minutes per application checking that I've given a meaningful pitch, such as their challenge, how to approach it, and inviting them to a chat to debrief it together, and still nothing!
