In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimisticđ

But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.
Have you ever underestimated a project's timeline and regretted it later?

This year, I worked on a mental health app where I explored using water to represent brainwaves and quality sleep.
I think it communicates the idea much better than the typical green energy orb. đ
What do you think?

The 2027 calendar won't draw itself, and the printing won't order itself either đ It's the Year of the Goat, so this one has to be the GOAT. Question of the day: 1 â a cartoon goat with attitude 2 â an artsy one, like last year's Drop a number below, and I'll go sharpen my pencils (and horns)
