Designer tools

Here, I’ve put together a list of tools that boost my productivity and help me with everything from designing and organising my workflow to managing my time. And I wholeheartedly recommend them to you as well.

Free templates

In this section, I share useful resources and templates on editorial design, layout, typography, grids, composition, and more. Be sure to subscribe above so you don’t miss out on any new materials.

Print designs

I’m a big fan of prints, especially on T-shirts. I always struggled to find designs that I liked, so one day I decided to create my own. My black-and-white designs are inspired by the simple beauty of plants, space, cats, rave culture, anime, and of course, graphic design. Each print is made primarily for myself, but I’d be thrilled if others like them too. At the moment, prints are avalible on Redbubble, but I plan to find new platforms soon.

Books on Amazon

One day, I got curious about using artificial intelligence to create a book. For my experiments, I chose a children’s theme since it’s quick to layout and has lots of big illustrations. The experiment worked brilliantly, and I fully illustrated my first book, ’One to Ten’. But then I thought, why leave it sitting in a drawer? So, I put it on Amazon as a self-published author. After that, I made an English ABCs book for my son to help him learn letters and practise writing. Then, I really wanted to create Catandala — an anti-stress colouring book with mandalas and a touch of cat spirit. And I did! Feel free to have a look.
