Finally, after countless jobs applied for, clients approached, many hackathons entered, and still zero results, I'm still here, still building. I've built five apps so far, and don't forget this website.
The Scoreboard
The Jack of All Trades Problem
Sometimes, as a designer with many skill sets, people say I'm a jack of all trades. And even though I still don't know exactly what I'm best at, I now realize I'm good at not giving up. I'm good at keep trying, keep learning, keep building, and staying creative.
Why This Website Exists
That's why you found this website with my story inside it.
This isn't a portfolio pretending everything went smoothly. It's a document of what actually happened when a principal designer who spent years on brochures decided to claw back everything that had gone dull.
The zero results are part of it. The Gary Vee panic is part of it. The 100 unanswered emails are part of it. The hackathon loss during Ramadan is part of it. All of it is the work. The building is the point.
If you made it this far
You now know more about my unemployment than most people who have met me in person. If that earns a conversation, a project, or a job offer, my inbox is very much open.
