Hey there, my name is Anim, and I’m an artist who has worked with UI/UX design, video editing, and graphics design for a long time. I’ve had the chance to work with both well-known companies and skilled solo artists since I became a professional in 2016. I’m always interested in new techniques and trends because I love design so much. This helps me do new and important work.
I’ve improved at making designs that are both nice to look at and useful for people, so they get the point across and keep people interested. Many projects on my resume show that I can do good work in many different areas of design. Based on what I’ve learned and done at work, I can’t wait to share useful ideas, tips, and cool hacks with you all. With this, Young artists will be more creative and reach their full potential.
