2017 Hustle + Highlights

Let’s reflect on the year 2017, all the hustle and highlights!

I really do hope everyone had a great 2017! With another year behind us, it’s important to reflect on all the highlights and the hustle that made us stronger. This year for me was actually mostly about relaxing and doing more creative stuff that I love without necessarily having a purpose to it. Funnily, I only started really listening to myself and following through on these goals half way through the year, as I was preoccupied by my design job and other goals that weren’t as aligned to my core objectives

So below is my wrap up of Dear Diary Design’s 2017 Hustle & Highlights….
