Why You Should Work on Personal Projects (and How to Start)

This is the story of how a random, throwaway T-shirt design I made in under an hour completely changed my career as a designer. I wasn’t trying to go viral. I wasn’t chasing clients. I just made something that felt relevant and funny — and put it out there.

What happened next? That design ended up being shared by a major platform, led to freelance work with a global rock band, international merch designs, and even a VIP invite backstage at a sold-out show.

In this video, I’m breaking down how it all happened — and why your small personal projects might be more powerful than you think.

Whether you’re a graphic designer, creative freelancer, or just trying to get your work seen — this is your sign to start.
