Hi, My name is Adigwu Margaret. I'm a professional graphic designer who specialize in curating beautiful piece of artwork which include professional business cards, banner, fliers and logos for businesses.

I've always loved graphic design and have been creating my own designs for fun since I was a child. As time passed on, though, I realized that my passion could be used to help people as well—so here we are!

Since I was a self-taught graphic designer, YouTube videos and the designing community were my close friends and have since then helped me greatly improve my skills.

What I Learnt During My Designing Journey

The more you practice, the better you become. All you need is just to start from somewhere.

Hurdles of Being a Graphic Designer in Nigeria

There is a lot of skepticism in the world about women and graphic design. "A lot of people don't believe ladies can be good in this profession". 

However, there are lots of creative people out there with blogs showcasing their work; making it hard for designers to find new clients. More clients tend to pay lesser than required because there are too many competition in the industry.

Advice to Upcoming graphic designers

If you are creative and love designing things, graphic design may be a good place to start.

Also, don't let anyone tell you that you're not good enough. Be focused and pursue your dreams.
