In February 2024, you received a sponsorship for Grace Walker's Fast Forward Freelance course, marking a great start to the year. You looked forward to each lesson, finding them practical and applicable, even though you’re still navigating how to transition from corporate life to freelancing.

In March 2024, you forgot that you had the Standout Freelancer course by Dann Petty and wanted to see how different it was from Grace's course. It was a great way to help motivate myself but not life changing. You wrote all about it on Medium.

In June 2024, you found yourself back in San Francisco at Config for the second time in a row and this time with your coworker! You enjoyed getting to know your coworker better and being in a space filled with inspirational designers.

In August 2024, you finally got around to working on your portfolio website to reflect your current skills and experience. It was a challenging process, but after exploring different ideas, you landed on a design that works.

In September 2024, you gained the motivation to work on something that has been on your mind since the beginning of the year. After building out the LEGO floral wall art set, you wanted a way to plan your next project with different designs. So you turned to Figma to make that come true and turned it into a community file as well.

In October 2024, you enrolled in Femke's Product Strategy course to enhance your product thinking skills and learn how to have a greater influence within your team and company. It quickly became one of your favorite courses, one that you'd highly recommend to other intermediate designers.

By the end of the year, you wrote 10 medium articles with your most viewed and read being Figma x WorkLouder | Figma Creator Micro keyboard setup and review!.

Out of all the projects you worked on this year at work, you loved rethinking the login authentication experience and how to create a unified benefits form that cannot be disclosed yet.
