Answer 5 quick questions and discover which design role fits your skills.
How did you get started in your role?
I started my journey designing avatars and signatures for forums. As I had a natural talent for drawing since childhood, I swiftly discovered my purpose, which was to unleash my creativity.
From 2010 to 2014 I worked as print & advertise agent at a local shop where I ventured into photo editing, print design, logos and other related graphic work.
In 2014, I joined a small design agency as a Senior Designer for a fixed term of 6 months, where I focused on creating logos and webpages.
What apps do you use to help you design?
What are the responsibilities of your role?
It’s 2014 when I chose the most challenging path, to go full-time freelancing. Besides working on client assignments, I started to build my own digital products. This enabled me to push my boundaries and build huge icon collections & UI kits.
I am very proud of my past digital products (noticeable ones): • Retinaicons (½), Swifticons, Bubblecons Not so noticeable: • Mintie (½), Dropicons, uiSurf, Magicons, icono.space, Emojious, iconPerk.
In 2022 I became recognised as Top 30 Icon Author worldwide.
Year 2024 is the year when I came up with the unique idea of a custom-made express avatar service. Using real pics as reference I make illustrated avatars in Figma and deliver SVG and PNG formats. All details can be found on tiny.supply . My progress can be found on X.
What advice would you give to your younger self trying to get into the field of design?
The most important thing learned through tiny.supply is that trusting personal taste and consistency matters more the most.
Showing up every day, drawing one tiny circle at a time, and backing a “small” idea long enough for it to become big in other people’s lives.
Do you have any regrets in your journey in becoming a designer?
My only regret is not starting my design career earlier.
As a designer how do you stay inspired?
I follow a bunch of talented guys on X and scroll Pinterest a lot :)
