balancing school and work

We are so close to the weekend, yet there is so much to do. Since I started to work with clients on several design projects, I've been trying really hard to balance school and work. My job is very time consuming but productive, which is what keeps me doing it, besides for the fact that I love my job and that motivates me even more. 

This is what I'm currently doing at work and at school...

Putting all your ideas into a visual presentation in a sketch is a great way to start any design project. As a graphic designer, I start by doing a sketch of the blog layout as my base and draw elements I wish to appear in my blog design. Once I know what I want, I meet my lover, Photoshop, to play with the color wheel, type fonts and creating my own graphics. It's been 1 week and a half since I started this amazing design journey (working with real clients). It all started on Instagram when I tagged my later-to-be client in one of my photos showing off my design and coding skills. By the way, I can't wait how her new blog design will turn out. I'm also busy designing a new blog template called ICE, which I will soon make it available for all of you to purchase at an affordable price. I will be posting shots of the blog design once in a while...

ICE Blogger Template will be designed with #photographers #bloggers #models in mind so if you're in one of these fields, you will completely fall in love with the layout.

let's go!


necklace ZARA / shirt BERSHKA / trousers AÉROPOSTALE / Sneakers NIKE



This is my official blog featuring posts about my daily life, design and style, music, fashion and other random stuff. Since I started blogging in March 2011, I have a great knowledge on Blogger, which is why I decided to design blogs instead of blogging, however, I will still be posting but less than before. I'm enjoying now my 4-day weekend way too much, but hey I deserve this break! These past days I've been really busy with school and work. Finally my website is up to date and all the designing and coding is done (that's a really really long process). Now I'm working with an amazing girl on her blog design, it's going to be fun, can't wait to see the results!

Anyway, the photo above is my outfit of the day. I love these Nike Air sneakers, they are so comfortable that I almost feel like I'm not wearing shoes at all and the main reason I bought them was because I didn't have appropriate shoes for running/working out. I want to get fit so badly, what's your workout plan to get in shape? I go jogging once per week and eat healthy fruit.
Some of the many stores I shop at are Bershka, Zara, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 and Pull & Bear. If you're a skinny geek like 

If you're a skinny geek like me or simply are into design, technology, fashion and music, you should come back. This is just a welcome post but if you want to know me more, then go check out my "find me here" link list.
