You recently started a video tutorial series. Could you take us through the decision behind that and how it's coming along?

What I was thinking about, maybe six months ago, is the fact that although many of the people who follow me are people who might be interested in my services (like brand identity or web design), a lot of the people on there are actually individuals who are trying to learn about design, trying to develop their own careers, and gain an understanding of how this industry works.I get a lot of DMs and enquiries where people ask me “What's your creative process?”, “How do you acquire clients?” and things like that. So I really wanted to help those people and I thought the best and easiest way to do that was by releasing a tutorial of some kind. I have a lot in the works that will hopefully be able to help those individuals, such as communities, coaching, and that kind of stuff.Ultimately, I think that sort of idea came from feeling like there was a little bit of a lack of transparency in the industry between this kind of higher level and the bottom. I suppose I just want to, in whatever way I can, bridge that gap, because I know I would have really benefited from that when I was coming up.
