Exploring the work of peers and professionals in the field is essential to understanding current trends, effective design techniques, and styles.
By studying and appreciating the work of others, I seek to improve my own skills and develop my  visual identity.

However, it is important to emphasize that my goal is not to directly copy the work of others, but rather to use these references to inform and inspire my own creative process.
