    Your design projects are so amazing and unique! It's really inspiring tbh. As a mass communication student who wants to pursue a degree in graphic design soon, your videos have taught me a lot about what graphic design students usually do, all of these tips about portfolio and etc. Really appreciate it! ❤️

      Don't pursue graphic design. These people just selling themselves to make living. Just showing fancy stuff to lure students to watch their content. Reality is really opposite. You will die with frustration you will get in graphic design. There is no scope in near future. Rather go with UI UX. It's more customer centric rather than posting no sense design. Consider this option.

I'm a new graphic design student, so while I've been creating on my computer for many years, I'm still relatively new in the world of design and actually applying techniques that bring designs together. You're extremely inspiring, I hope one day I can present work that's even half as good as yours.

As a graphic design student in Vietnam (because graphic design is a new major in Vietnam, so many of the universities in here don't have the proper knowledge of graphic design), I learn so many design skills and knowledges on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing this tips about portfolio and many helpful contents ❤️❤️❤️

    I just thought of ways on how to make my life turn around, make money as a student to compensate my school expenses and help my family in terms of financial so I immediately jumped into graphic designing. Graphic designing still seems kinda complicated to me considering that I'm new to this stuff and frankly I know I'm not that creative enough to be a graphic designer. What makes it even more difficult is that I'm no good when it comes to art, but as they say if you never try, you will never know. Making me realize that the cost or risks it would take will be worth it someday, if you just take it seriously. Watching your vids encourage me to become passionate about graphic designing and make me wanna learn it. I'm currently an Accountancy student wanting to learn new stuffs.

    I really like your works and there are lots of passion projects in your portfolio, which shows some depth to how you approach social issues. However, I wonder if you have showcased any actual client works to show that you have corporate experience. I’m a senior designer and we often look out for designers who have some experience in designing for companies/clients. Passion projects don’t rly go the distance so it’s good to include some industry works to show you’re a good candidate for hire :) thanks for sharing!
