My name is Julian, and I have been a graphic designer since 2019, working for freelance projects and for my own businesses. Most of my professional work has been done using softwares such as photoshop and illustrator, but only up until early of 2021 did I discover Canva. Since then, my professional work has changed completely, with now 30-40% of my work being done on Canva. This is down to the output that I can achieve from Canva, but also down to the convenience of how much faster it is to design. Because of this, I’m able to reclaim a lot more of my time back and improve my work flow.
