ABOUT DESIGN WARLORD

During my high school years, I developed drawing skills as well as a fascination with 3D games and computer programming. I wanted to go for an art degree but to my dismay, I was confronted with the cliché line "Artists end up starving most of their lives", so I ended up forced to pursue an engineering career.

I obtained a bachelor degree in applied mathematics & computer science (Faculty of Sciences & Technologies, Marrakesh, MA), then I enrolled in a Master of computer science applied to business management, though my passion with graphics didn't die out: During my university years and in parallel with studying for my majors (which were mostly about math & coding), I was self-learning 3D design as well as general graphic design.

I spent my 2010s like most millennials out there, we graduated and entered the workforce after the great recession of 2008, it was a difficult time. I tried working for a company but that wasn't my cup of tea, then I became a 3D design teacher in local design schools but that also didn't last because I found myself preferring to work online from home. In my early professional career, I was freelancing in full-stack web/app development AND 3D/packaging design. As the years went by, I had to choose one of those fields and drop the other to avoid the "Jack of all trades, master of none" situation, so I dropped coding to focus on 3D/packaging design.

By 2020, I had accumulated 5 years of experience in the packaging design field and it coincided with a "Now, what's next?" crossroads moment of my life, especially with all the craziness and uncertainty that occurred in 2020 due the Covid-19 pandemic & the lockdowns that followed, I found myself pondering: "Now what's next?"

I looked back at all the projects I've done and the mockups I created so far, I attempted to see them from the viewpoint of potential clients/customers and compared them to what other designers were offering. After a thorough evaluation, I concluded that while my work was satisfactory, there was definitely room for improvement. So, I decided to double down and begun working on a major version 2.0 upgrade.

After almost 4 years of re-inventing my design processes, Design Warlord was born. The high quality of the products/services this brand offers came to be after many years of hardship and a slow grind towards perfecting my craft which is the embodiment of my passion rather than just something I do for living. I believe that by following my passion, I can add value to the market by helping other designers and businesses with their journey in creating better and meaningful products that in their own turn add value to the market and make the world a better place.
