Thoughts that shape my perspective
By Austin Kleon
This book taught me that originality is often born from influence. It liberated me from the pressure of “pure” creativity and helped me embrace remixing ideas in my own voice.
By Marty Neumeier
A foundational guide that clarified how strategy and design intersect. It shaped how I pitch and build brands today — with clarity, meaning, and distinction.
By James Clear
Helped me build a consistent design routine. My “design every day” practice was inspired by the idea of tiny improvements leading to massive outcomes.
By Austin Kleon
Made me realize the value of sharing my creative process. Even though I started out quietly, this book nudged me to eventually open up and grow on platforms like Instagram.
The idea that every logo, font, and layout tells a story changed my design philosophy. Now I approach every project like a narrative waiting to be revealed.
