[Day 1] Fresh new start

Alright so, I am reading this book called 'Show your work' to kind of help me get started on revamping my portfolio. One of the ideas in there is to start sharing a 'Daily Dispatch' of my work, which is to say just talk about it online, share something I am working on. I am too nervous about posting on any of the mainstream platforms as I haven't posted anything in years on my socials. So I figured this is a good way to start.

Today I started working on this template design for a seller landing page. It's meant to be pretty customizable and highly converting. For the first time in my career, I actually documented the process, from the inspiration to the design decisions I was making and it felt like I was doing some actual work. Previously I would just get a task and pretty much immediately start designing but this time I stopped to understand the problem, think about the user, and sift through existing designs for inspiration and I felt so much more involved. It made me fall for my work again.

Anyway, it's time to get back to work, I want to finish this today ideally. Here's hoping this streak continues.
