Advice vs Execution

Imagine that you are on an adventure deep in nature and you come across some rapids.

Conveniently, there is an expert trekker with you and he knows exactly how to traverse through those rapids safely, across to the other side.

You, on the other hand, have zero confidence and will probably slip and fall to your doom.

Obviously, you ask the trekker to help you.

If all he did was to talk to you and…

How to Start Something

How to Start Something

Starting something is always the toughest thing to do. It’s a lot easier when you’ve gained some momentum.

Whether it is a new business, weight loss program, personal brand, side project or whatever else you fancy, the start is always the toughest step.

UX and Branding — why you should approach them as one

UX and Branding — Here are two buzzwords we constantly hear since 2010 in mainstream business channels. Even though these are concepts that have existed decades ago (and some might argue, centuries), attention is brought to them in the last decade or so.

Allow me to shed some light, in my perspective, on what exactly is UX & Branding, and why these are critical components to building your…

Why You Still Need a Laptop to Run a Business

There has been a lot of talk by people who claim that in today’s context, you don’t really need a laptop or a desktop machine to run your business. They claim that a smartphone is all you need. I’m curious to see if that’s true, at least for my context.

Long Overdue Update

It’s April already!? My God how time flies… This post is going to be a ranty one. I’m just going to write whatever comes to mind for the next 20 minutes or so. I could begin by saying how grateful I am for how things have turned out and where things are heading… but saying it is merely an understatement. I think we should always be grateful, no matter how it is like in life. Let’s get to the…

Thoughts on Identity Design, inspired by Bierut

Thoughts on Identity Design, inspired by Bierut

I was re-watching video of Michael Bierut talking about creative influence, and I thought I’d do a short blog on it. Bierut is one of my highly respected inspirations when it comes to identity design. Cool Vs Impact Every designer wants to create something cool, maybe even reflecting a piece of themselves into the work. But more often than not, we get projects that may seem dull and in taking…

Like airbnb but with more features. Yup I'm doing concepts for ideas people talk about. It's hard to be truly unique. But with the right branding, you might just be special enough to claim a market share. . . #theferdaus #designagency #digitalagency #webdesign #branding #marketing #contentmarketing #designer #graphicdesign #designstudio #brandstrategy #marketing #digitalmarketing #strategy #digitaldesign #uxdesign #uidesign #ux #ui #uxportfolio #webdesigners #designlife #landingpage #behance
