Over the years, a lot has evolved about what a design system is what it’s comprised of.

My mind started to wander about the ways I have failed to be consistent… I have not consistently promoted my work, stuck to a ‘niche’ or posted sufficient instagram reels to make me a content-creating legend. I have not consistently taken my vitamins, gone to the gym, or…erm….written blog posts. 2021 didn’t exactly bring with it as much of a reprieve from 2020 as I’d hoped.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
