A Day in the life of a Graphic Designer

When I was starting out as a designer I always wondered how other designers spent their time. This video above showcases a some-what average day for me. Obviously everyday is different depending on what I’m working on or what deadlines I have, but I wanted to show a more or less average day.

Here is my day:

5:30am: Wake up

6am: Get out of bed and get ready to workout

6:30-7:30am: Work out (Either gym or walk)

8:30am: Breakfast

9am: Check emails and do other admin related tasks (make payments, follow up on invoices etc)

10am: Start designing and working on any projects that I have going on

12pm: Lunch

12:30pm: Back to work, usually go through emails, check in with the team and then start back designing

3pm: Take a break

5pm: Back to work, usually on personal projects such as the vendor illustration project I’m working on now. Or I might listen to podcast/skillshare tutorials

7pm: Done for the day, I’ll usually have dinner then read or watch netflix to relax before bed

9:30/10pm: SLEEP

Let me know if you enjoyed looking at a day in my life, and leave a comment if you want me to make a video on something else.
