Let’s start this Introduction from the very beginning shall we?

January 7th: I visit steemit and create an account. *“Alright let’s get started!”* I thought to myself, *“wait, what!? I have to wait for a few days to get started?”* immediately time seemed to slow down. I found myself refreshing my mail inbox every 30mins. After a while, I convinced myself that I needed to chill out! Lol Fast-forward to January 16th : *“your account has been approved”* **BAM!** The day has come! And would you believe it, I immediately went into a decision making paralysis. What should I upload? Do I start with a story? Maybe I can share tips and tricks on adobe illustrator, I’m sure someone will find it useful! In addition, a whole bunch of other ideas stormed my mind! Oh wait, I jolted back to the situation at hand..I have to setup my account first! Upon completing the formalities, here I am today, with my first post! My name is Hossain, and this is my story. ![me_edit.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmedWaqjk9RQouKFbsx2bApRAoTkNNix6FZ96NrpU1AkjP/me_edit.jpg) I am a freelance graphic designer from Bangladesh. My focus is mainly towards helping small businesses and startups with their branding and designing marketing materials. I’m also a minimalist (for about 6 months now), basically threw out everything that I didn’t use and donated a whole bunch of clothes that I no longer wore, all my possession now fit inside 1 single suitcase. A few of my friends and family members think that it is somewhat extreme, but I’m glad I gave minimalism a shot! Love the fact that there is less clutter around! Love animals, although I don’t have a pet (yet) hoping that will change soon enough. Here is a picture of me with my cousin’s pet cat (Mario). ![IMG_20171126_205518_HHT.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX2XwkzzUGY7HbQHXv5oWMYHEwFH3jBMozNyjoHdvPHBp/IMG_20171126_205518_HHT.jpg) Lately I have been thinking about opening up a youtube channel and start uploading tutorials on Adobe Illustrator, but I recently got to know about Dtube, and to be honest I can’t wait to hop on that platform! Since I’m new to steemit, and also looking forward to joining Dtube, please feel free to leave any tips and suggestions you might have, I would highly appreciate it! I love reading books, mainly non-fictional. One of my all-time favorite is Life’s Golden Ticket by Brendon Burchard. Absolutely love this book and I recommend everyone to read it if you haven’t already. I want to take a moment and thank @jerrybanfield , Jerry if you’re reading this, I got to know about steemit from your youtube channel. Learning a lot from you, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community! To everyone who has taken his or her time to read my intro post, thank you! I hope I can contribute to the community and make new friends along the way! Love, Hossain ![monuments presentation-01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWf8taPXreexVzewNpLfTMsvYWLwMYhDyHHZ4q77dA2QX/monuments%20presentation-01.jpg) Feel free to checkout my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalartboard/ and you can find me at: @lifeofleo
