As a newbie trying to start UI/UX design, I knew I couldn’t just hop into working on live projects or great looking portfolio to show my clients. I knew I needed to work on getting the right colors, layouts, typography, font size, hierarchy, etc and it wasn’t something I could do on my own hence I signed up for the 100 Days Daily UI Challenge. Although I wasn’t able to do it till day 100, I only stopped at day 33 because I felt it was time for me to start building my portfolio on Behance. Why Daily UI Challenge? The daily UI challenge encourages new UI/UX designers to set goals a ..read more

  So this post was supposed to be posted on 21st March, which was the day I turned a year older, but I decided to let it sit in my draft and schedule for today since it is the last day of the month and the end of the first quarter. The first quarter of the year is over, and there’s a lot of introspection going on for quite a number of us.

Honestly, I don’t want to ever experience the stressful and draining part of this quarter ever again but I thank God for heali ..read more

I used the last strength in me to write this post. Before the holidays I promised I was going to do a lot of upskilling, reading, learning, and writing but none of that is happening and I really feel guilty for doing nothing productive; however, I realize it's the holidays and I am doing what I should be doing - REST. As much as we would want to be productive at any given opportunity we find ourselves, it is important to note that there is no pride in suffering from burnout and stress. So,   if you find yourself feeling bad for not doing anything during this festive season ..read more

Earlier this year I lost my job and I tell you, it was something I never expected to hit me so early in the year. A few weeks later, and it dawned on me that I was literally unemployed, "where do I go from here" I kept asking myself, how many radio stations are ready or willing to employ a music scheduler during a pandemic for that matter? I quickly had to restrategize about what I wanted to do with my life and earn money. Since I had an intermediate skill in digital marketing, I figured it was time to go back to gaining more knowledge and pursue it as a career, two weeks in and I realize ..read more

A certain man met Jesus in the book of Mathew and asked; “Teache ..read more
