I'm a Graphic Designer & Video Editor and owner of Bhailog Digital. Teaching design is my passion because in my early years as a designer I always wanted to quick and easily tutorials through which I could learn design but there was no such source in time. So, I took on the challenge to teach design with short and to-the-point tutorials.
In terms of Design, I have been employee, employer, a failed business owner and now a successful teacher. Basically I have been in all the positions and I know exactly the problems people face in terms of design.
I'm located in Pakistan where there isn't value of design. So, I took on the challenge to educate the local audience but then ended up having thousands of students from all over the work.
I hope to provide value to you by make easy to understand courses for you all.
