Is it sexy?
The design is more than beauty; this is what I use when I describe good branding that is easier to understand and has everything I want to say in it.
This is the phrase I use, linked to the branding or the design I am doing. This is meant to be a bit provocative and harmless; the truth is in the meaning of the word when not linked to the obvious. Let me explain what I mean in this manner:
– something I really like,
– something I would love to have,
– something I would love to come back to,
– something that is everlasting,
– something that is impressive.
“Is it sexy?” is a feeling after you have done something great, and this is what good design feels like.

Self-Doubt in the Design Process – It Means You’re Halfway There
In the creative world, self-doubt is not a sign of failure—it’s proof that you’re making progress. Every designer, whether novice or expert, experiences moments of uncertainty. It happens when you question your choices, wonder if your ideas are good enough, or feel stuck between iterations. But this isn’t a setback—it’s a crucial part of the design process.
I take it personally
Sometimes I get involved in a branding project where I accidentally bump into people who think halfway there is a good start.
Team 2 team
Business design is shifting from human 2 human to team 2 team; this is becoming more and more important; team spirit produces more results than any individual effort. B2B
To all the misfits who jumped to freelancing
We’ve been broke. Burned out. Ghosted. Underpaid. But we still say no to shitty jobs. We’d rather spend endless hours on a good one — a real one — that actually means something to us. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. Because we love this shit — and we’re damn good at it.
