Popoola, I've followed your journey up until this point.
You're a gem and an inspiration, man! Congratulations and keep on winning!
Personal update:
I got a job as a Design Engineer!
I stopped freelancing a couple months back to focus on coding and hackathons and it really paid off.
It’s wild that I don’t just design in Figma, I ship too!
There’s so much to learn, and i feel very blessed to have this opportunity.
When I think of it, this is my first tech job since I started back in 2023.
I’ve been in awe this week getting familiar with the fast moving startup culture.
I have a lot to say but I’ll leave it at this.
Show up and trust God.
All of this happened within this week.
Crazy!
This is just day 1.

One of the delightful things about relying on AI for design (because "designers are cooked") is that when the output begins to look, feel and engage like slop, you call the human designers again.
And we'll be right here.
Waiting.
With invoices.

Design is an invisible thread weaving through literally everything we touch, see, and experience.
It is a lens.
A way of seeing.
And once you realize that, you stop waiting for inspiration and start noticing it whispering in everything around you.

Wagwan designers! Are you ready for Day 4 ? I think I’m out of brief ideas but here we go ….
Day 4: create any design using the image provided below. It can be a book cover, a poster, a hero section anything at all. Just be creative. You can use the copy if you choose to.
