About
Graphic design requires continuous growth, being observant, and constant learning. Today, I can speak of the art of creative thinking, where experiences have given depth to my skills.
Talk
Even the simplest project requires some assumptions
We begin by determining project needs, timeline, and budget. Then we establish aesthetic assumptions and define the scope of work and settlement rules. This ensures a solid foundation before diving into design.
