I graduated in computer science, but my interest in design began during COVID. I started learning it as a hobby and found myself enjoying the creative work more than coding. After graduation, I decided to pursue it fully.
As I started offering design services, I realised that being good at the work was only part of building a business. The people who needed my services also had to discover me and understand what I could do for them.
So I started learning copywriting and marketing psychology. I wanted to understand what makes someone pay attention, how to communicate the value of a service, and how to reach the right audience.
The more I learned, the more connected these skills became. Design shaped how I presented my work. Copywriting helped me explain it. Marketing helped me think about who I needed to reach and how to start those conversations.
That led to a simple thought: why not bring these services together for other people building their businesses?
That is how my work grew into social media management and personal branding. Today, I combine research, writing, design, and marketing to help clients share their expertise and manage their online presence.
