TOOLS
The tool of choice does not matter. The results are what matters.
I began my career using Adobe products. Since then, I have pushed myself to learn as many tools as possible without being cynical or dismissive of a new tool that can potentially change my workflow for the better. As my mentors have always told me, "the early bird gets the worm". I don't headline read and talk about new tools, I actually struggle through and learn each one.
BOOKS
A great book is like a window into an author's mind.
During the past two years I have read over 30 books. Whether it’s an audio book or
sitting down to read, I find it cathartic to gain knowledge through someone else’s documented experiences.
YOUTUBE
Awesome Youtube channels that will make you want to create.
Being a visual learner, I consume a ton of content via Youtube. Below are
several Youtube channels that continue to inspire me to create honest work.
ARTICLES
Medium articles that have inspired me.
Medium has become a great place for me to read relevant content
about the subjects that matter to me most as a designer.
