My name is Alan, and I’ve been designing for as long as I can remember. What started as pencil sketches turned into digital experiments on an old tablet, and that curiosity introduced me to the world of graphic design. At 11, I set a simple goal for myself: work with content creators and make money doing something creative. I accomplished that goal before I even started high school.
I grew in a fast-paced online community where I learned how to market myself, build a brand, and connect with people long before I understood what those terms really meant. I started out underskilled, offering free work to gain experience, consistency, and visibility. Those early projects helped me build a reputation, join design teams, and learn from people far ahead of me.
Everything changed in 2018 when I got my first PC. My work quality improved rapidly, and I reinvested everything I earned back into my craft — software, digital assets, branding, and education. I learned the importance of having a recognizable style, a clean aesthetic, and a professional presence online. By 13, I was working with creators, landing paid clients, and building a small but real influence in my space.
As my skills grew, so did the opportunities. I learned how valuable exposure could be when used strategically, offering selective projects to high-visibility creators that expanded my reach across communities.
My freelance journey paused in 2020 due to life changes and shifting online spaces, but the experience shaped who I am today. I learned design, branding, client communication, and self-promotion at an age where most people are just discovering their interests. That early hustle built the foundation for the creative direction, videography, and design work I pursue now as an adult.
Today, I create with the same passion I had as a kid but with years of experience, stronger skills, and a much clearer vision. I'm rebuilding my brand with intention, combining graphic design, motion, and videography to create work that feels modern, distinct, and personal.
I didn’t lose what I built. I’m evolving it.
