My 2023 In Review

Every year I recap all the creative steps and stuff I’ve done in the previous year. Here is my 2023.

NB: Less differing projects hit compared to last year’s and even less competitions (I’ve basically given up on all but the big ones and the free ones). But lots of positive moves. And after doing a full year in review across all aspects a la Tim Ferris, I think this was in retrospect a great year in terms of progression.
