I had been having a hard time lately. Once you start getting bigger projects, you can't simply make mistakes otherwise they will turn in big monetary loses and a huge stain on your reputation. People would think you are not professional and won't trust you or even consider you for more jobs. I say this because in the past months, I had an extreme load of stress due to job and personal issues. I was so overwhelmed that I almost lost my job due to big, big mistake, I had to compromise on a salary deduction and basically not to do any other mistakes, not even minimal. Fortunately my stress rollercoaster has eased and I feel better, as per being winter, work flow is just slow. I always try to learn for my mistakes. I have narcissistic tendency, so I get very hard on myself when this type of events occur and I can't handle failure very good. So I avoid at all costs to make the same errors, as on the other hand I make mental notes on stuff that I am not very good at and I focus and double check on my problem areas. Last month I was able to pull off a complete project with 0-3% errors. So I am really proud of it, since I was feeling awful for my past fault.
All this comes to mind, because suddenly I had been reached out randomly for information and potential freelance projects, that due for me sharing finished works through my personal social media. I hope in a near future I can post about how I was able to complete such projects.
Well I started college about 20 years ago. Unfortunately I wasn't able to land a job and I went and tried to work on my own I had a hard time dealing with people. At some point I just let it go and kept holding regular basic jobs as I had bills to pay. I actually had given up on the dream. Sometimes thigs are not meant to be, no matter how much you try. I have a very good friend from high school. He has this proactive, positive attitude and was able to build a little business of IT and then multi-services. He started offering design services, and as he met new people he always try to bring me over to try new jobs. At times I had to decline, since I had just grabbed full times at my current jobs, until one last time when I showed up to this place and since my actual boss really needed a designer, he hired me even with my lack of professional experience. This past two years had being stressful. I don't know anything, not even as much as I thought I did. Fast forward to now. I had scored Food Truck designs, signages, menus, tons of business cards, logos and some other things that I might be forgetting right now.
If you stop by and see something you might like. Ask. I will be happy to help.
I would need to start running a site where I can post my portafolio as well as work experiences and resources. I need to be seen by people so I can start getting hired for jobs on the side since at the moment I am employed at a printing shop that also offers design services. Unfortunately the target audience are just looking for an specific kind of design and doesn't allow for much creativity or ideas. I am glad that at least I'm being able to utilize my time working on something related to my career.
