  • Hey all! Here is an overview of my life working from home as an NYC brand designer. ✨ I’ve included a series of projects and snapshots from a few clients and brands I’ve worked with throughout the past year. If you were ever curious about a typical designer’s week ~~~look no further~~~

    This video was comforting. I am coming from a UX/UI design background as a student and I just couldn't do it because it is way too complicated for me. I want to use my art skills much more and now I know what to do with my career. Thank you for this video! Much blessings

      Im in the process of considering UX design in the Coursera course, but really considering brand design. I love the creative part of UX design but something about it is not giving me that spark/ excitement.

      @@Mia._803 SAME!!! I think it’s just the UX part. I believe we both just want to be apart of the UI spectrum.

    I just want to say you are inspiring me to focus on becoming a freelance designer, I am currently a full time graphic designer but I want to make the switch and just seeing your work and range of styles just gives me hope. Anyways keep doing you!

    I'm a graphic/brand designer from Singapore and have been in a creative rut for the past few months so this really inspired me! It's cool how you come up with many logo variations off the bat because I'm usually told to give clients three. Cheers and looking forward to more design content :)

    Loved this video! Such cool insight into your day! I know you WFH, but I was wondering if you have any advice in getting to an agency job as a self taught designer? Specifically as a self taught designer, what exactly do you put on your resume to get hired.... Other than listing "proficient in Adobe suite, etc." I have a degree in something completely different than design (in education), so how do I get employers to look at me without formal education in design? I am worried that even before getting to the portfolio, they would just skip you because the resume wouldn't have formal design education on it.
    Would really appreciate some insight into this, thank you!!❤

      Hello! Thank you for watching! Since agencies rotate clients at a fast pace - e.g. working with a beauty brand one day and a car company the next, they often look for designers with a variety of styles on their portfolio. Presentation is very important. Similar to your portfolio, your resume should have a polished look when presenting your technical skills and experience. I have a section that lists my specific skills (motion design, ux design, layout design, etc) + programs I specifically use in the Adobe Suite. Your resume should highlight design specific duties like the types of projects you had ownership over or creative campaigns you led / contributed to. Your credentials like what college you graduated from or degree you received is usually a small blip in an ocean of experience you should fill with personal projects, internships, or entry level/freelance roles. I get this question a lot so I will make a video about this one day!

    Just wondering did you go to uni and study graphic design? Is it worth it going to uni because its so expensive and takes 3-4 years 😢

    • @cozydreamstudio
      @cozydreamstudio  Před rokem +3

      Hi! Yes, I was a graphic design major in uni. It's definitely possible to learn the skills you need to become a designer without uni, but it will take a lot of research and commitment to form your own curriculum. In my case, it was worth it because the guidance and structure helped me figure out what was required to reach my goals. I also watched and listened to a lot of design podcasts and read up on resources like TheFutur, Design Matters by Debbie Millman, It's Nice That, School of Motion, etc.

      Thank you so much for the kind words 🌻 In my current role as a brand designer, I make $90k / year. It depends on a few different factors: your skillset, duties, years of experience and the type of company you work for.
