thank you for sharing this joey! it inspires me a lot to hear your story of becoming an illustrator and knowing that our career trajectories aren't always linear :) I really appreciate how you emphasized how the industry isn't a meritocracy-- I've seen so many success stories that felt like they came from places of privilege and it frustrated me a bit. I guess all we can really do is be passionate, find connections, and just draw!
This was super inspiring. I studied Interaction Design at CCA & am totally burnt out from product design. Always dreamed of illustrating - still trying to figure out how to actually make it happen
I took your domestika course and started following you since then. I started drawing again after thinking that I’ll be happy just doing product design. Thanks for sharing your journey. I’m gonna be patient given it’s 2025 and go on to finding my style and sharing as much as I can
