Starting as a Self-taught Designer

Описание: My Store - https://emerystudio.gumroad.com/

In this video, I answer one of the most frequently asked questions: how did I become a designer? My journey started back in 2019, with limited resources and no formal education in design. Using only my phone and a basic app called Logo Pit Plus, I began learning the fundamentals of design.

Despite the challenges, such as not having a good laptop and lacking access to advanced software, I persevered. By studying and replicating designs from platforms like Behance, Dribbble, and 99designs, I honed my skills. Building a portfolio and showcasing my work on social media helped me land my first client in 2021.
