From Struggle to Square

Dreams have a way of lighting our path, even when the journey feels impossible. They offer hope, direction, and a sense of purpose. I still vividly remember when I finished school, but further studies were out of the question—my family simply couldn’t afford it. At that moment, my dreams seemed distant, almost unreachable.

Fast forward almost 15 years, and here I am, living the life I once only imagined. It didn’t happen overnight. I took on small jobs, one after another, but I stayed determined, never losing sight of what I wanted. I knew I would one day do something I loved. And most incredibly, I never imagined that one day my work would be showcased in Times Square, thanks to Figma. It was a surreal moment, something I thought would always be beyond my reach, but it happened because I never let go of my dream.

Hold onto your dreams—they’re not just fantasies, but the fuel that will get you where you’re meant to be.

Today, I’m in that place. I’ve built stability and, more importantly, the freedom to follow my passions. The road wasn’t smooth, but it was the dream that kept me going. That’s why I believe you should never let your dream slip away—no matter how tough the road gets. Keep pushing forward. One day, you’ll look back and realize that your persistence is what carried you to heights you never thought you’d reach.
