We interviewed Elliot about his experience as a designer, entrepreneur, and content creator. Here&#8217;s what he had to say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"what-led-you-into-design\" name=\"what-led-you-into-design\" data-animate data-destination=\"what-led-you-into-design\" class=\"heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What led you into design?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate-children class='p-block'>\n<p>Growing up, I was always a big drawer and loved making art, but I never tried design until high school. We did a few lessons on how to use Photoshop when I was in year-nine art class, and I was hooked from there!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate-children class='p-block'>\n<p>I immediately downloaded a free trial of Photoshop on the family computer when I got home and followed every &#8220;cool retro vintage wallpaper&#8221; tutorial I could find on YouTube to grasp the basic skills. Design was very much a hobby for most of my teenage years until I started posting on Instagram, and things began to kick off!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"how-would-you-describe-your-design-style\" name=\"how-would-you-describe-your-design-style\" data-animate data-destination=\"how-would-you-describe-your-design-style\" class=\"heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How would you describe your design style?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate-children class='p-block'>\n<p>Type-first, bold, and authentic. My work almost always involves humorous copy, so I find the best way to let that shine is to play with simple primary colors and loud fonts. It&#8217;s my way of translating graphic design memes into actual graphic design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate class=\"embed-form-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C5pB4vtSMHd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

He has his own AI personality and voice modeled after mine. I had to learn Blender, Unity, and some code to get him working, but he is complete, and I love him so much.

After a solid few months of momentum and deals, I decided it was time to fully commit to content creation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate-children class='p-block'>\n<p>I got a sense that my audience was ready to support me on that journey, and my engagement wasn&#8217;t slowing down at all, so it just felt right! I never thought I&#8217;d end up running my own thing. But I&#8217;m very grateful it all worked out the way it did.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"why-do-you-think-youve-attracted-such-a-large-engaged-audience\" name=\"why-do-you-think-youve-attracted-such-a-large-engaged-audience\" data-animate data-destination=\"why-do-you-think-youve-attracted-such-a-large-engaged-audience\" class=\"heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you think you&#8217;ve attracted such a large, engaged audience?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate-children class='p-block'>\n<p>It&#8217;s very easy to lose yourself when you start growing on social media. You can have one post that really pops off, and you can convince yourself that if you keep making that exact same style of content\u2014even if you don&#8217;t like making it\u2014that success will keep coming. But people follow you for <em>you<\/em>, and they&#8217;ll realize you&#8217;re not being yourself before you do!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate-children class='p-block'>\n<p>I&#8217;m now more myself than ever online, and the content I make directly reflects that. I carved out a corner of the internet for myself in the funny graphic design niche and never left!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate class=\"embed-form-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjZC0xKo1ns\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Content creation is an attention-based gig, and if my pages aren&#8217;t growing it&#8217;s easy to stress out and worry about the future of my business. But having passive income means I have a solid baseline that I can build off of when working on new content. And new content drives print and asset sales, so it&#8217;s always good motivation to make new stuff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div data-animate class=\"embed-form-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CaWIpABg4aJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
