Most people see the final post — the polished graphic, the clean layout, the confident caption.
But behind the scenes?
It’s usually a sketchpad filled with scattered thoughts.
A laptop with 10 tabs open.
Coffee gone cold.
And me … glasses on, hair tied up (now on low cut), praying Canva doesn’t freeze.
As a digital specialist, my day is a dance between strategy and storytelling, aesthetics and analytics, and clients and creativity.
From content design to digital marketing, from writing optimized CVs to building online brands… I wear many creative hats.
☕ A Day Might Look Like This:
Wake up to a voice note from a client saying:
“Sorry I forgot to mention… can we redesign the whole thing?”
Juggle feedback like:
“Make it pop more… but keep it calm.”
(Still don’t know what that means.)
Write a caption, delete it, write another, delete it again…
Until the right one clicks.
Switch from designing a corporate brochure to coaching someone on how to brand their freelance service.
What They Don’t See
They don’t see the effort that goes into:
Making a 2-slide carousel look like a million-dollar pitch.
Turning someone’s words into a visual identity.
Getting rejected or ghosted, then picking yourself up to do it all again.
They don’t see the tears, the growth, the “I almost gave up” moments.
But those are the moments that shape us.
But Why Do I Keep Going?
Because I know that…
📌 Someone’s dream is tied to the logo I designed.
📌 Someone landed a job from the CV I wrote.
📌 Someone smiled at a post I created.
And because creativity is not what I do. It’s who I am.
Let’s Talk
If you’re a digital creative or if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like behind the filters and formats know this:
You’re not alone.
Your work is valuable.
You’re allowed to be tired and still passionate.
I see you. I am you.
