Thank you for sharing your story Elbert and for all the useful tips, about your point on (11:31) "working with a more logical kind of people", it's really important to point out that, I believe it makes us more balanced and open-minded, would like to know more tips about work-life balance in general as a designer, all the best!

[@elberttiao]

Of course, no worries at all. Thanks for the comment Esra. Super rad idea, will definitely make a video about work-life balance as a designer soon!

Was searching up Pixar designs and noticed your name under one of the vids and had to chekc if it was you! Unexpected but pleasantly surprise to see you on UA-cam! Hope you’re doing well Elbert!! Hella late, but congrats on the job acceptance! Thanks for the informative video, I’ll check out the Pixar one next 😂

[@takingfalldamage]

@@elberttiao Definitely down! Been watching lots of designing videos since I switched back to art from accounting during covid lol. I'll be looking out for your next vid! 👊

[@elberttiao]

Oh awesome, yeah man let’s do it! Hit me up on instagram or email ([e-mail]) and we should definitely meet up 🤘🏼

Great video :) would like to know some of your go-to sites for design resources and inspiration, for people who are getting into design and going through that self-learning path

[@elberttiao]

Thanks Kenneth! Most definitely, will make a video about design sources and go-to-sites soon 👌🏼🔥.

I'll tell you what it's like to work as a designer when Russia attacked your country. We make a lot of infographics about the losses of the enemy. We design landing pages about how Russian mothers can find their dead sons. We communicate about the sanctions imposed by the world community. Forgive me for posting this on your peaceful channel. But that's my reality, bro.

Thanks for sharing your story @mrrksmith and opening about what you are going through. What’s happening between Ukraine and Russia is really sad and unfortunate. Hope you stay safe and that things don’t further escalate. Please feel free to speak your mind as this is an open community to grow and learn from each other. Much love.
