PROJECT:
The Secret Sauce of Design Ebook
OVERVIEW:
The Secret Sauce of Design is an eBook I wrote and designed to help other creatives (especially self-taught designers) elevate their skills and confidence. A lot of what I know about design came from years of trial and error, so this project was my way of sharing those lessons in a clear, practical format.
I wanted to create something more than a tutorial or theory guide. Each chapter breaks down essential design principles like balance, color, typography, and layout, but also dives into the realities of client communication, pricing, contracts, and portfolio building. It’s a mix of creative fundamentals and business know-how, something I wish I had when I was starting out.
The book also includes curated resources and tools that shaped my own journey. Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Inkscape, Behance, Dribbble, and more. My goal was to give readers everything they need to learn, experiment, and grow in one place.
RESULTS & IMPACT:
Since its release, The Secret Sauce of Design has become a trusted resource among new and emerging designers. It’s helped many up-and-coming creatives, and even a few of my designer friends and supporters either learn the basics of graphic design or sharpen the skills they already had. The feedback I’ve received has been incredibly encouraging. People tell me they keep the eBook saved and refer back to it often when they need inspiration, clarity, or a creative reset. Knowing that something I created continues to guide others on their design journey is what makes this project so meaningful to me.
