i think i was good at ui/ux. i designed full app concepts but never shared them. i’ve never worked professionally in it.

what threw me off was the whole “design system” thing, all the structured assets, naming, spacing, components, rules. like showing your messy files, but perfectly organized so others can follow it.

design is fun until you're asked to show the whole skeleton.

theory/rules never clicked for me. i’m more inspired/prefer by raw, self-taught creativity than school-taught design. academic paths feel too rigid, less room to be bold. here a few bellow i made few years ago
