My Journey to a Slower, Happier Creative Life
I’m happier, and my designs have more heart.
As a graphic designer with freelancing experience, I used to think speed and creativity were everything.
Deadlines always scared me, projects piled up, and I was constantly chasing “the next big thing.”
One day, I realized something had to change.
I was burning out, and my work was losing its creativity.
I wanted to design.
Not just push out projects like a factory machine.
So, I made a choice: slow down.

The Rush Was Stealing My Ideas
When you do things quickly, creativity takes a hit.
I didn’t notice it at first.
I would simply go with the first idea that came to mind.
Often missing something better just waiting below.
Slowing down was a solution I needed. When I gave myself time, I started digging deeper.
