The story behind Framer University

Q: Could you give an overview of Framer University and your background?

A: Framer University is a platform I created to teach people how to use Framer. I started it because I was excited about Framer and wanted to share my knowledge. I have a background in graphic design and started learning design tools at a young age.

Q: How did you get into the design industry at a young age?

A: I've always been interested in creating things and being creative. I started learning editing tools like Photoshop and Sony Vegas at a young age. I also had various YouTube channels where I focused on creating projects and designing logos for them.

Q: Would you consider yourself more of a creator or a designer?

A: I see myself as a mix of both. I enjoy creating content and being consistent with it. I also enjoy designing things, but I prefer working on personal projects rather than client work.

Dealing with a Bad Launch and Content Creation
