Vulnerability Made Me a More Confident Designer

Being vulnerable made me a confident designer.

I’ve always been sure of my creative process — it’s as if I’m the star of my own movie, sitting in the theater, waiting to see how the ending unfolds. Every project begins the same way: a blank 8.5 x 11 artboard in Illustrator. Just pure possibility.

Then the magic starts.

Shapes take form. Color finds purpose. Fonts start to speak. Slowly, the brand begins to build itself — piece by piece, layer by layer — until the vision becomes something you can feel. It starts quiet and steady, and then my intuition takes over.

While others manage stress by hitting the gym or escaping into noise, I find calm in creation. Design is my meditation. It’s my music, my poetry, my therapy, my retail fix, my favorite meal.

When I design, I’m not just building brands — I’m translating emotion into form. Vulnerability fuels that. It allows me to connect deeper, see clearer, and create with more honesty.

That’s what designing is about.
Turning raw, real emotion into refined visual storytelling.
Turning human moments into brand movements.
And reminding people that confidence doesn’t come from perfection.
