struggles and progress
So here we are, the last day of this challenge. What began out of desperation has evolved into something truly remarkable. A year ago, I was struggling—both financially and mentally. But I pushed through, and when one door closed, I found my way back in through the window. I kept going, and now, one year later, it’s all paid off.
This challenge has been full of highs and lows, and I pushed myself beyond just illustrations. I worked on logos, branding, UI, full product mockups, and presentations. The only area I didn’t explore was animation—it’s just too time-consuming!
Along the way, I’ve connected with so many amazing people who’ve supported me—whether through simple likes on my work, collaborating on projects, or offering mentorship. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s been part of my journey this year.
So, what’s next? I’m taking a little break. I need some time to recover from this non-stop drive and refocus on my next steps. I’ve developed some exciting ideas during this challenge that I’m eager to bring to life, and I also want to return to exploring new creative directions.
This piece represents all the challenges I’ve completed—from 2017, 2018, and now, this final one in 2024.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE, AGAIN! 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
For the last time in this challenge…
