These are real thoughts I have during projects, sometimes at 2am in my bed or under the shower. The kind of things you think very loudly but never say because you still need to pay rent (and the Switch 2) 👾
The reason I can say them now? It’s because the founders I work with actually WANT. THIS. ENERGY.
They don't want a designer who nods along and delivers something safe. They want someone who's going to TELL THEM the TRUTH about their brand strategy, push back on their brand identity decisions, and build something that holds up in the REAL world.
So if any of these slides made you go "oh, she's talking about me"... good. That means you're paying attention to your branding and that's already more than most.
If you've got confessions of your own, drop them in the comments. I know you have them 👀
And if this is the energy you’re looking for in a brand designer partner, you know where to find me! 🙂↕️
➡️ Two ways to work with me:
1- You have your strategy defined and need a visual identity -> Brand on Fire 🔥
2- You need both strategy & visual identity -> Brand Blast ☄️

Same and also a self taught designer and illustrator. You can learn so much by just diving in and exploring. I agree with all of these slides

90% of the design process is internal screaming and I don't trust anybody who's methods are any different 😂

Love the honesty. And also no formal training or degree here. Tbh sometimes the folks who do have that lack that creative “edge” that delineates their work from the rest of the market. Overly formulaic design processes based on a set of concrete instructions one learned in school start to look dated and uninspired really fast in the real world. Chaos wins.

All of these 🙌 though I do have a degree in graphic communications, I think it’s only really relevant when it comes to dealing with the technical parts of production. Stuff like colour management, file types, preflighting, and all of the things that give printers a headache. Industry stuff. Marketing & design is easy enough to learn online if you know where to look!

Interesting!!! I can relate well to the process being chaotic and having no set rule. As a motion designer, I could start with sketch of free writing ideas on sheets on some days and other times find myself listening to cool instrumentals which may not even end up as the track for the final piece.

![Ramai di media sosial, insiden tragis menimpa seorang bocah perempuan berusia 3 tahun yang meninggal dunia usai diduga terjatuh dari lantai 5 sebuah hotel di Samarinda, Kalimantan Timur.
Peristiwa tersebut terjadi di Hotel Mesra, Jalan Pahlawan, Samarinda, pada Rabu (14/10/2026) sekitar pukul 09.30 WITA. Korban yang diketahui berinisial RKS diduga terjatuh dari balkon kamar hotel saat kedua orang tuanya sedang sarapan.
Saat kejadian, korban diketahui berada di kamar nomor 5101 bersama adiknya yang baru berusia 1 tahun. Sementara itu, kedua orang tuanya tengah berada di restoran hotel untuk menikmati sarapan.
Informasi mengenai alasan korban ditinggalkan di kamar pun sempat simpang siur. Awalnya, kedua anak tersebut disebut masih tertidur ketika orang tuanya turun untuk sarapan. Namun, muncul informasi lain yang menyebut korban memilih tetap berada di kamar karena tidak ingin ikut bersama orang tuanya.
Tak lama kemudian, korban ditemukan di bagian bawah bangunan hotel, tepatnya di sekitar area parit. Sang ayah yang mendengar teriakan dari luar hotel langsung bergegas menuju lokasi dan mengevakuasi putrinya.
Dalam pemeriksaan awal di lokasi kejadian, polisi mendapati pintu akses menuju balkon kamar dalam kondisi terbuka dan tidak terkunci. Korban sempat dilarikan ke RSUD Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda, tetapi nyawanya tidak dapat diselamatkan.
