In this video, I go through a typical day in my life as a freelance graphic designer living in Los Angeles. I have never done a more vlog-type thing like this but I had a lot of fun.

This is why I want to be a graphic designer, its just creativity or just go crazy on doodles and just merge together.
The best thing is when you find clients that would pay for your style. So you are having fun and you are getting paid to do what you love
just a high school freshman thinking about doing this as a potential career in the future. Very indecisive personally so this helps. Thank you.
Same! It's fun to create stuff and maybe one day having an chance to get paid for it .
As a freelancer sometimes I think i'm the only one with this kind of lifestyle, particularly where I live. Watching these kind of videos are so important and inspiring to me. I also struggle with going to bed early, I was always like that but usually at 4am. I'm going at 2 am since the start of this year and can't go far from that now. Thank you so much for this video, cheers!
I appreciated the kind words and Iâm glad this helped you out!
I want to be a graphic designer but i don,t know how to start can you plz teach me from beginning level to expert level plz suggest me some free course.
â@@lovesharma7129i am a bit late but I am learning currently a bit too, I found this playlist (link below) and another course on udemy I think but I don't know the title right now. This might help ya czcams.com/play/PLYfCBK8IplO4E2sXtdKMVpKJZRBEoMvpn.html&si=M973Kb480JEKOVgX

For some reason it was a real relief to hear you go to bed at 1/2 am. I really struggle to get an early night and I feel it really impacts my productivity the next day. I don't think i'll ever be one of those people who can go to sleep at 10pm lol
Glad you could relate, I cant help buy stay up late. Earliest I go to bed is 12. I do try to still get up around 9 though which helps.
I'm currently a full-time LA-based graphic designer working for a company but looking to transition to freelance eventually, so your videos are very helpful and perfectly calibrated to what my future might look like. Keep it up!
We actually work in a very similar way. I really like to see that you do a good amount of research. It seems that a lot of designers now, donât realize how much of a role that plays on the process.
Yuup, Iâm always big on research, even for some of my smaller personal projects.
It was refreshing watching this video reminded me of how I used to start my day usually about 10:00 a.m. I would get up around 8:00 take a walk around the neighborhood , have a light breakfast and then start reviewing things that needed to be done for that day. Officially start taking calls about 10:00 a.m. I have sent stepped away from that started into a whole different industry and now that I'm in this new industry it makes me long for being creative again so I'm looking for new inspiration and channels to help me with a smooth transition back into the creative industry. I joined your channel I look forward to new information that you will be putting out and I'll review your previous posts. Thank you for sharing.
This is my dream job, and seeing this encourages me to work more on my skills, thank youđđ
You're welcome!
Liked the video, i was curious about the daily schedule as a graphic designer. It seems well though I felt like working on multiple projects are much better than single work whole day. Make vidéos on how to approach new clients as a beginner?
I enjoyed every moment of your daily routine, hopefully you share more stuff like that
Thanks!
so relaxing to watch! We Want More Jesse!!!!
Thanks baby!
If you enjoyed the video, scroll back up and smash that like button:)
Great content on Graphic Designer. Word advice how to sleep early and wake up early. Make it mandatory. It will take time to adjust mentally. Give it a month or two month to notice why you can't and can sleep at 9pm. Exercise help or press yourself to some extend physical activity. Anyways I'm just passing by and leaving a comment. Hope this helps
Really enjoyed watching this, as a younger designer it's cool to see small things that I always mess up being done effortlessly by you, whether it's shit like grabbing a notepad before you start the call and not midway, or eating something light in the morning (very often I'll eat junk and feel lethargic), and those Tacos looked fire :)
Yea the light breakfast thing is huge! Heavy food makes me tired, just like those tacos but they were bomb haha. Glad you enjoyed the video Munish!
the utter simplicity âŠamazing đŻ
Glad you like it!
DOOOPE! I was just recording one of these for my channel! lmao
Great change of pace! Love it, journaling has really been helping me too!
Great way to keep an outside view of things; forces you to be honest
with yourself, and for me, keeps me progressing!
Most Def!
Fantastic one. Thanks for sharing your routine with us. Love from Nigeria đłđŹâ€ïž.
No problem, glad you enjoyed the video!
Solid video, have a lot of the same habits and tastes so I'm happy to find your work out here.
Also, the Gorilla biscuits shirt is dope
Appreciate it!
This was awesome! More of this pls
Thanks Obby, appreciate the love!
Awesome video! I'm somehow happy you don't wake up at 5am like the other routines haha
Oh yea, that could not be me haha. Most days itâs 9 or 10 for me.
so relaxing...i wish i had a job like that
Cool day man seems like a chill vibe love the vinyls and books you got going on dude!
Appreciate it Jeremy!
Iâm in a totally different field, Nursing! I like to draw and design cars in my spare time
A girl in my class is a graphic design major so I wanted to see the videoâșïžđ
damn that pretty much my dream setup, love this!!
Thank you so much!
Hahahaha "office Crocs". I live in my Crocs but now I need a pair strictly for my office.
Very chill and aesthetically pleasing.
Thank you so much.
Nice editing and shooting one man army, What would you say about the scope of graphic designer in future as there are increase in number of graphic designers everywhere on freelancing platforms.
nice videos, as a designer I like to watch other designers talk about their shops or daily routines, just bought a print too, nice shop
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for buying a print!
Much respect for you for building such a beautiful environment, everything looks cool. I wish to be a graphic designer working in LA, maybe collaborate with you on a project
Very inspiring and a great look into what itâs like to freelance as a GD from home in LA. Also I love that we get to see the micro detail of him putting on his socks (đŠ¶đ»for free?) đ nice toes bro.
the turnstile record is a flex especially with how popular they are getting
You are living my dream đđđ
Yes mate, banger!
Much love Louis.
I love this video
The coffee is so on brand, Iâm gonna start doing it too haha
We gotta lean into the Graphic Designer stereotypes haha
Great day management , but honestly the best part is the coffee part đ
Appreciate itđ€đ»
Please, more vlogs like this
Big ups to u acknowledging j dilla but Iâm going into my second half of my school year and am deciding to do graphic design. As an active sports player I grew up a lot w computers and electronics
You have very John Mayer esq tattoo (I know that it's probably some japanese style but the bit near the end is almost 1:1)
I'm really not a day person. No matter what I eat or take I will still fall asleep during the day, even if I go to bed early. Most of my design process begins around 6pm.
the "best" schedule is the one that works for you!
"Buenas Tardes"
"Alright, cool"
đđ
Fresh grind beans are the best!!
Most def! Been using this coffee subscription for whole beans too itâs dope
best thing there were Dilla and japanese style pictures
Loved this so much man, inspiring
Appreciate ya Intra, Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Love the office space!
Thank you!
that GB Tee is sick
Thank you!
I like ur job
love the fridge
Thank you!
Loved this video bro. Your setup is also so nice. What speaker mounts do you have above your monitors? My setup is so tight and I can't really fit my studio monitors
They are these ones! amzn.to/3K0xoRy
love this! now I want office crocs
Thank you and do it, they make you a better designer!
I'm a graphics designer, used to have a girlfriend....when you said take a walk with my girlfriend I felt a sharp pain đȘđ„Č
Itâs alright buddy. Stay happy and keep your head up. A lot of us are alone too. So donât feel too left out â€ïž
Homie listens to turnstilleeeee heâll yeah bro
yessir!
This is ridiculous, i have been busting my ass my whole life and still broke, this guy is just chilling, doing actual work for 2-3 hours a day and lives in a giant house, has stuff worth probably 50 000 usd in his house and lives like a king. Are you selling you posters for a 1 000 usd each or what?
I work a lot more than 2-3 hours a day... For the sake of the video I wanted to help make it more entertaining and dynamic. It took me a while to get to where I am and lot's of nights/weekends putting in the work. I only aim to help or entertain people with my videos and I wish you the best in getting to the place in life that you want to be.
@@JesseNyberg what do your clients usually order from you? And how much do you charge them? And how do you even find clients?
At 2:59 I screamed kurapikaaaaaaaaaa
Hell yeahđ€đ»
what a really good video! :)
As a graphic designer I can tell you itâs more then drinking coffee and getting tacos.
Great Video!
yo i got them office crocs too
jesse this is your best video
Appreciate that Jack!
Iâm in college and looking to pursue graphic design. I really enjoy being creative and putting ideas into something people and visually see, but I also enjoy working with my hands. Would you recommend this field for me?
Dude your personality is so similar to mine and the music too and I never knew a single thing about you. Iâm thinking of a career change. Iâm in hard sciences but hate it. Just kinda scared Iâll suck at design or wonât make money idk what to do lol
Nice â€â€ I think I do want to be a graphic designer too !!!
Lol I go to the same taco truck after work đ
goals
Thank You!
hey jesse! i have a question do you currently support yourself fully? and have you bought everything you own such as like the computers etc i wanna be a full time artist but i have been having trouble understanding how I will be able to fully support myself so I can buy whatever i need without needing to ask parents etc you know what i mean? sorry if its kind of a personal question but some advice would be so great thank youu
My advice would be this. It's going to take time but learn your craft. Learn and create stuff all the time. Look at old design books and media from the past and take notes on anything that inspires you. It'll help you develop your own style too. Keep creating new media. Once you feel confident, don't be afraid to raise your rates as you need to. You'll need to learn a lot about business and negotiating as well. Focus on the big clients, but at first take it small and learn the process of the deal. Focus on bigger clients as you feel more comfortable speaking with the business owners. Look at your finances and start a budget. This will let you know how much you need to charge to live how you want. We believe in you, now go do it!
HI. I just found your amazing channel about graphic design. I don't see much designer using window these days and wondering what's the reason behind that? thanks.
Nice video, keep up the good work.
Appreciate it!
Nice vid, the screamers, the germs Nice book OF PUNK FLYERS :) XD
Yess, it was a nice little find
So inspiring! but food is important, my friend! Don't be lazy! ;)
My day as a designer is crazy, create, change, sell... af
love the gorilla biscuits tee! thanks for your content you're really inspiring me to get better everyday ngl
thanks so much!
Cool stuff, I dropped a like! I'm actually a Copywriter and looking at making a career change into Graphic/Motion Design. Know any good places to start? Should I focus on mastering the tools first (i.e. Adobe Suite) or the basic Graphic Design principles (i.e. Typography)?
Design principles are far more important than any specific design programs
What are some of your favorite fonts? I really like the ones you used for personal projects/ posters!
Hey Tess, I have a playlist here with a few videos on that! Free Fonts for Designers
