I could say this about other things too, but yes, graphic design is my passion.

It was born out of necessity, you see. Back when I was a humble member at a university club, the duty of preparing the banner for an event fell on my shoulders. The club didn't have its own graphic designer; we took favours from a bhaiya. It wasn't the best experience being a "client" to him. Let's just put it this way: we had our creative differences. And I decided to take matters into my own hands, and my computer.

So I began. My rickety laptop went into overdrive as I churned out Design.ai followed by multiple renditions of the same project until I was satisfied with FinalestFinalDesignPleaseStop.ai on Adobe Illustrator.

For me, I realised, it was more than just a creative outlet. Graphic design—or me assembling random things and calling it a logo—is therapeutic for me. What started out as a means to help a cause is one of my favourite things to do now; what's even better is finding my other passions through it.

Hit me up if you want to talk about logos and fonts. Then we'll get talking.
