When did you start designing? What inspired you to take up graphic design?
I started designing about 5 years ago. In my country Bosnia and Herzegovina, graphic design is not really the most popular job because we can’t really find clients in my country. Owners of companies don’t realize the true values of branding and marketing online. I have always loved drawing so when I find out about opportunities to earn some money online I did some research on how to use Adobe tools and began my journey. I think my love for drawing inspired me to start graphic design.
If you had not become a designer who do you think you would become instead?
I have finished my education in school for electronic science. So that would probably be my profession.

Do you admire any current trends in design?
Yes of course. I love comics and pop art, hand-drawn illustrations, etc.

I said before that one of the most important skills in this job is to have patience. I had some difficult clients but with good communication and quality work, clients will be satisfied.

Do you have any designs you a particularly proud of?
I’m really proud of my all designs but particularly one design that made me so happy and proud. That was my first winning design. The contest was High Definition Church.
How do you get new skills in design and learn something new? Do you watch videos, read books etc.?
I’m trying to keep up with new trends and I’m learning new skills every day. I’m watching videos mostly on the official Adobe page and reading articles about design. Today it’s really easy to find useful tips and information about graphic design.
