Logo Revamp 2019

Almost three years since a post here on Dribbble.

Updating my personal brand to help inspire my semi-return to the design world. It is scary how far you fall behind after a couple years of focusing on other aspects of life.

It is amazing how self-doubt can cause havoc on ones mind; while watching my contemporaries grow there design careers, my life took a different direction. Taking advantage of an opportunity to go back to school, I dove head first into the aviation maintenance world and put design on the back burner.

During this time, others had me convinced that "there are too many designers in the world already" and "that wasn't the smartest choice to go to school for design; you can learn that stuff off youtube". I believed them and lost all motivation and confidence to do anything creative.

While the above is not completely false, I have realized an important fact. As long as someone has the desire to create, there will always be room for another designer at the table. Will I make a career out of it? Hard to say. Will I continue to fix airplanes as my main gig? More likely than not. Regardless, it is time to get that confidence back and start creating again and not let anymore time slip through the cracks.
