Progress Over Perfection

At some point, I stopped chasing “perfect” ideas and started chasing progress. I began saving my messy sketches, half-baked drafts, and even the ones that made me cringe a little. Looking back, those experiments were where I learned the most. I realized that creativity isn’t about having one great idea — it’s about having a thousand little ones that eventually lead you somewhere better. The freedom to fail became the foundation for actually improving.

The Fear of Starting

There’s something oddly intimidating about a blank canvas. Whether it’s a new client project, a fresh logo concept, or even a redesign of my own portfolio — that empty screen just stares back, daring me to make the first move. When I started out as a logo designer, I used to think creative people always knew exactly what to do next. Spoiler: we don’t. Most of the time, we’re just figuring it out as we go, trying not to let the silence between ideas scare us off.

Finding Excitement in Reinvention

These days, when I face that blank canvas, I still feel a tiny spark of fear — but it’s mixed with excitement. Because I know what it really means now: a chance to reinvent myself again. Every project, every client, every creative risk is an opportunity to learn something new. And honestly, that’s what keeps me coming back.

Seeing Logos as Living Stories

Over time, my perspective on logos changed too. I stopped seeing them as pretty symbols and started viewing them as stories. Every mark I make now has a reason — a meaning behind it that ties back to someone’s vision. A logo isn’t just a design; it’s a handshake, an identity, a feeling someone carries with them. Once I understood that, my process felt less like creating and more like translating something emotional into something visual.
