  • FROM:​

    • "It all started back in 2004 when I volunteered to help my elementary school clear out old CDs from their library. Before we began, we were all offered to keep any CDs that we wanted. Out of all the CDs I threw away, the only one that struck my interest was Photoshop Elements 2.0. I was excited to get started on learning how to Photoshop pictures.
      I went on to complete countless tutorials while learning how to use the software. After some time, I took on as many freelance projects as I could while continuously learning new techniques and working on my own projects.
      After learning Adobe Photoshop, I started learning Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and many other programs Adobe had to offer.
      I’ve been a self-taught Graphic Designer ever since and with over 17 years of experience, I can guarantee you will get the best results."​

  • TO:

    • "Ali's journey as a graphic designer began in 2004 when he volunteered to help clear out old CDs from his elementary school's library. As a reward, the volunteers were allowed to keep any CDs that interested them. Out of all the discs Ali threw away, the only one that caught his eye was Photoshop Elements 2.0. He was eager to start learning how to edit photos using the software.
      Ali pursued his passion by diving into countless tutorials and eagerly taking on freelance projects. He continuously honed his skills and learned new techniques while working on personal projects.
      As Ali continued to build his expertise in Adobe Photoshop, he expanded his knowledge to include other Adobe programs like Illustrator and InDesign.
      Today, with over 17 years of self-taught experience as a graphic designer, Ali is confident in his ability to deliver the best results for his clients' projects."
