About design. About creativity. About brands and the way they communicate. About technology, the things changing around us, and the ideas that make you stop for a second to think.
Some of these thoughts come from things I create. Others come from things I learned, questions I ask myself, or random moments that make me see something differently.
And honestly, I think its time I started sharing them.
So, welcome to Notes From My Creative Mind. 🖤
A weekly series where I'll be sharing my thoughts, observations, lessons, and sometimes the wild ideas that cross my mind about the creative space, tech, design, branding, and everything in between.
Not just what I know, but what I'm learning. Not just what I create, but how I think about the things I create.
Because theres a lot more to creativity than what we see on a screen. There's the thinking behind the work, the stories behind the ideas, and the little things that change how we see the world.
I want this to be a space where I can explore those things, share what I'm learning, and hopefully give you something worth thinking about, too.
This is the beginning. No big speech, no pressure to have everything figured out, no pressure to get fast engagements. Just me, my thoughts, and a commitment to keep showing up every week.
This is Notes From My Creative Mind.
Stay Active and Let's see where these thoughts take us. 👀
📣 calling all junior & aspiring designers!!
i get a lot of DMs from people asking how to get started in design, improve their skills, or build a portfolio without having real clients.
so i built something to help with that.
a free resource filled with creative challenges to help you practice, experiment, and grow as a designer.
it's my small way of giving back to the design community!

Logos from my archive.
A good logo doesn't really have to tell what you do; it's meant to tell a story. Here are some with their unique stories.
¹ Unik Mindz — inspired by Michelangelo’s 'Creation of Adam'; human creativity sparked by a higher source.
² Nutrift — reflecting the idea of weekly cycles and continuous meaningful progress.
³ Nestform — built to reflect furniture that adapts and transforms to different living spaces.
⁴ Ember & Oak — built around the truth that coffee is defined by its transformation, with the mark capturing the entire roasting journey.
Do you usually find the story first and draw toward it, or does the story get written once the mark takes shape? The weekly-cycle idea behind Nutrift reads like it could have gone either way.
