Diary of a Creative: The Beginning of a Space Where Ideas Breathe

Welcome to my Diary of a Creative
This space is born from a very real place.
From creative chaos, from dreams that sometimes feel overwhelming, from the fear that walks beside us, from a passion for design that never fades, from doubts, beginnings from zero, unseen processes, and ideas that don’t always let me sleep.
It is born from life itself.
I am a creative, a designer, a dreamer, an entrepreneur, a migrant, a mother…and this diary is a reflection of all of that.
Not the perfect version of me, but the real one: the one who falls, gets back up, doubts, tries again, reinvents herself, and keeps going.
Here, you won’t just find design.You’ll find stories, mistakes, lessons, processes, hard decisions, fears faced, and dreams defended.
Here, I will talk to you about:
Design with intention, not just aesthetics
Branding with soul, not just trends
Trends that inspire, and also the ones that don’t connect
Real processes, unfiltered
Starting from zero, without shortcuts
Learning how to set prices, without guilt
Dealing with clients, with self-worth
Creating even when you’re afraid
And continuing… even when you doubt

This diary is also born from migration.
From starting over in another country.
From building dreams far from home.
From juggling multiple jobs to sustain a creative project.
From being a mother and still refusing to let go of what burns inside.
Because yes, sometimes I’ve had more than one job.
Sometimes I’ve been exhausted.
Sometimes I’ve wanted to quit.
But I have never stopped believing.
And this blog is exactly that:
a testimony that you can create while surviving,
that you can dream while working,
that you can build even when everything feels uncertain.
Here, I will tell you what it has truly been like to build my creative studio.
How I learned to set my prices.
How I made mistakes with clients.
How I doubted my talent.
How I felt fear.
How I wanted to quit.
And how, despite it all, I kept going.
This is not a perfect blog.
It’s an honest space.
A place where ideas don’t compete — they accompany each other.
A place for creatives who feel deeply.
For brands that also have a story.
For people who are just beginning… or beginning again.
If you’re here, it’s not by chance.
Maybe you, too, are creating something.
Maybe you’re afraid.
Maybe you feel like it’s too late.
Maybe you doubt…but you keep going.
Thank you for reading me.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for walking with me in this new beginning.
This is only the beginning of the Diary of a Creative.And this adventure has just begun.
