[CREATIVE MASTERMIND, SLIGHTLY DELUSIONAL DREAM CHASER]
Hi, I’m Naomi Akinpelu, a self-taught graphic designer, creative director, and founder of One More Inspired Studios. I’ve spent 10+ years building my design career from the ground up without a formal design degree, learning through trial and error, persistence, and a whole lot of creative grit.
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of incredible brands across fashion, music, lifestyle, beauty, and entrepreneurship, helping them transform their visuals and identities into something unforgettable. Along the way, I built a thriving design business, grew a platform of over 40K loyal followers, and created digital resources to empower other designers to do the same.
I know what it feels like to question your value, undercharge for your work, and wonder if you’re even “good enough” to succeed as a self-taught designer. That’s exactly why I created The Self-Made Designer. I wanted to help creatives like you step into your confidence, master your craft, and build a business that supports your dream life.
By the end of this course, you won’t just be learning design. You’ll be learning how to run a design career with confidence and strategy.
