What does the exact moment you fell for this craft actually look like?
I turn 30 on the 25th this month, which puts me a decade out from the university where all of this actually started. 🤯
This collages keep alive that era exactly as I remember it: the all nighters that blurred into the next morning's class, the first typeface I picked apart just to understand why it worked, my first real typographic composition, the friends who shared this with me and the illustrations I was too nervous to show anyone at the time.
None of it was good yet. But every decision I make now traces back to those lovely moments which I now treasure 🥹
What's the first project that made you realize this was it for you?

The illustrations you were too nervous to show are the part I'd keep. Seeing the early work makes the whole timeline feel real.

Turning 30 and still tracing threads back to those all nighters is such a good way to measure how far you've come. For me the moment it clicked was the first time a client shipped my work without a single revision request. What was the project that did it for you?
