Graduation Day
Minimal design isn’t emptiness—it’s clarity, intention, and the reduction of noise to amplify what truly matters.

On the 15th of May, I graduated from NYU. 🎓 There was no dramatic walk-on/off-the-stage moment. No instant job offer. No big plan. What I do have is: - A degree - Some ambition (that’s constantly fighting my procrastination) - And a desperate need to not spiral into chaos now that school is done So why this space? It’s my public accountability journal. My way of staying in motion. I’m calling it The Dairy of a Graduate because that’s exactly what it is raw, unfiltered, messy, personal, and hopefully a little funny! What you can expect here: - Daily/weekly updates on what I’m doing (or not doing) - Honest takes on job hunting, routines, failures, tiny wins - Raw reflections, identity crises, sugar highs and inner monologues - Maybe some useful stuff. Maybe not. But definitely real!
This isn’t a guide! At least not today, but hopefully in the future it’ll become one. For now it’s a time capsule of someone figuring it out; publicly, imperfectly, and hopefully consistently. ‘If you relate, stick around. If you don’t, that’s cool too. Either way, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s see where this goes.’
