Is it okay to post short videos on Twitter?
Anyway, I just love working on branding and packaging for tea and coffee startups.
Here's a quick video I've put together, showcasing some of the coffee and tea brands that I've brought to life!

Dear designer colleagues, how's everyone holding up? I think I'm experiencing the biggest work drought I've seen in maybe the last 10 or 15 years. Tough times. How are you all doing? Feels like the entire industry hit a massive rock.

As a designosaur, I've always used Photoshop and Illustrator, never Figma. But today a client needed a Figma file for a landing page. So I finally dived into the Figma world and it’s actually pretty simple and cool!
Feels like I’ve almost mastered it in a day. Who knew?

Nobody really cares where a designer is based.
I've been a freelance designer since the mid 2000s and not once has a client asked about my location.
Whether you're in London or Bangladesh, that really doesn't matter.

So yeah, my Dribbble Pro subscription ended and I didn't renew it. Instead, I got Twitter Blue!!

I joined this platform 15 years ago and I never expected it to reach this level.
I'll still continue using Instagram, but it's all

Designers don’t design brands; they create logos and visual identities.
I see designers claiming they design entire brands but a brand is more than just its graphics.
Even if you’re a brand designer, that still doesn’t make your job designing the brand.

So, we're going back to the gold days of Dribbble. I was getting a flood of inquiries every week, but this one from a beverage startup caught my attention. They were drawn to a specific logo from my portfolio

AI's going to take over everything we do with computers, all kinds of “design” included.
I’ve recently dived into the real estate industry and applied for my company’s license.
Designers, have you lined up a second job for yourselves yet?
What’s your Plan B? 👀

Back in 2015, I had the honor of redesigning Eagle Coffee, one of the first brands to bring coffee to the US!
What makes this project so fascinating is its deep historical roots. Coffee was first introduced to the world from Constantinople, known today as Istanbul.

If you can design one thing, you can design everything.
You just need to learn the technical aspects.
Principles like balance, space, form, color, etc., remain the same, regardless of what you're designing.
