Minimalism? Never really vibed with it. Felt like a safe space for those avoiding the chaos of complex design. My typography journey kicked off deep in the world of Victorian type—bold shadows, endless flourishes, and details so extra they took weeks to perfect.
Hours of sketching curves taught me patience and trained my eye to spot what slaps and what flops. Offset path in Illustrator? Total game-changer. Sure, I’ve made peace with minimalism over time, but still happy where my path in design start. Which I recommend to anyone.
