How Was I Able To Acquire All These Skills
My Creative Process In Developing My Designs
I started as an intern in graphics design for a cafe in 2016, but I wasn't doing much then. Then in 2017, I decided to master and learn more in graphics by learning online via YouTube. I started watching YouTube tutorials and learning how to use Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effect and in 3 months, I got a job at Ignite Digital as a graphics designer and also interned as a Ui/UX Designer and also advanced my skill online via YouTube. My mastering photoshop and Photo Editing made me interested in taking my own pictures, therefore in 2021 I started photography, Along the line I fell in love with 3D, so I started learning Zbrush and Blender online via YouTube, Almost everything i do right no i learnt from YouTube.
My learning UI/UX introduced me to illustrations, which prompted me to start learning how to illustrate and how to use Adobe Illustrator.
That was how I was able to acquire all these skills
UCM (user-centered mindset) and sensitivity to design have proven to be vital when working with clients, agencies brands to develop digital concepts and solutions
