The word "perfectionist" is just another word I find strange. You can't always be perfect... there is nothing like a perfect body of work.

Your opinion may differ ♡

I used to strive for perfection, but recently I’ve realized that trying to make everything perfect just makes me create less.

I spend so much time wondering whether an idea is good enough that sometimes, I end up not making anything at all.

So I keep reminding myself to create...

I perfectly agree with you Bolaji. Sometimes in the bid of trying to make something perfect we remove the life out it.

Making beats perfecting. The Create typography over that portrait works well.

Those who try to be perfectionist mostly end up accomplished nothing. Because the time they are spending to make things perfect someone else is getting the work done.

This is so TRUE and IMPORTANT to remember! I believe that just trying sometimes does more than just striving for a perfection that will never exist! We are the ones who are over complicating everything with no need!

Dark for me. The photocopy grain, cobweb and plant shapes feel like a scratched film print on black, perfect for a party in the dark. Would you bump the small type so it reads from across the room?

It's been a while since my last post, and I'm excited to share a glimpse of what I've been working on.

I'm currently developing a brand identity for an architecture studio that believes in blending subtle modern minimalism with the timeless elegance of vintage architecture.

The idea isn't to replace the old with the new, but to refine what's already beautiful.

Because great design isn't always about creating something new. Sometimes, it's about giving timeless things a new life.
