Day in The Life of a Graphic Designer (NYC)

I’m finding that in order to show up as my best creative self (especially as a freelance designer), I’ve got to create my own daily rituals and stick to them. Otherwise my anxiety and overwhelm take over. This video offers a glimpse into my day, and while you’ll see me designing, you’ll also get a peak into what keeps me healthy and motivated (as well as sane, ha).

I’m not able to show a lot of the projects I work on until they are released to the public, but I hope I’ll get to share them with you soon.
