I love how professionally you handled the client situation:)

[@creatownia]

Oh my, when you talked about the client situation I FELT THAT. Freelance is a lot of stress and clients can be unpredictable. You handled that situation very well - I need to learn from you to be this calm when things like that happen in my own freelancer life 😂❤️ also luna da best

[@DenaNguyen]

Haha couldn't agree more. 😅 but I believe in you!

[@Y04i]

I love her channel she gives me the energy to become a graphic designer 🥺

[@DenaNguyen]

🥺❤️

[@laurkinsley]

I’m doing graphic design in college and I’m watching all your videos to see what it’s like!

[@DenaNguyen]

Nice! Hope you are enjoying them so far :)

[@laurkinsley]

Dena Nguyen i am!!

[@sanhamyboo]

Thanks for showing that hard part too, it’s has happened to me and I feel like I overreact by feeling disappointed at myself, but you’re totally right thanks for sharing

[@DenaNguyen]

Of course! think it’s super important to show authenticity. It’s definitely hard to not let emotions override logic and professionalism when you’re working.

[@AshlieJow]

I feel you on the client situation. It’s a good learning experience and you handled it well. You got this though! Always rooting for you!

[@DenaNguyen]

For sure! Thx as always Ashlie. :)

[@marjallenealinsod2197]

I like how you talk about moving forward when client is not good or the project is not going good. It is hard to stay productive and motivated when there a lot of rejections and conflicts in a project. Sometimes I felt bad about it and really having a hard time to overcome it.

[@suigyo9843]

Watching your videos always gives me inspiration thank you dena

[@DenaNguyen]

That makes me really happy to hear thank you 🖤

[@caroferdkin]

Thanks for showing the client's situation! It's not all hearts and rainbows and this situation exists and is painful sometimes. I lost a client not so long ago and thought of this part of the video ;)

[@kayaeki]

Thank you for inspiring! I'm proud of you ✨

[@medea7190]

Hello your channel are inspired me to be productive lols. Even my major far more different from yours since I am engineering student, but I related to your hard work that you put into your videos.

[@MegaMikey]

New Dena video let's goooo! Of course, I sit through all your ads and watch your videos all the way through to the end because you deserve it! 🧡 Edit: Definitely my favorite video of yours so far. So cozy and nice to see what life may be like once I become a freelance designer. Luna da best!!!

[@DenaNguyen]

Thank Mikey for always showing mad support and love 🙏 ❤️ Keep it up with your videos too :)

[@kiarab2441]

Luna’s the best 😂❤

[@andreea-mariadumitrescu9484]

Luna da best, your pets are adorable💖💖💖

[@DenaNguyen]

My days would be much more mundane without them 😭

[@itsallfanmade7627]

Ok can we please get some more of that boxing footage? Lol you got some skills,its nice to see a woman that can defend herself if needed :)

[@bryan_ferrer]

I like your content. I completely agree. Regardless of your position you still need to work hard for it.. I am currently shifting to being a designer/developer.

[@janellerad]

Loved your video! You inspired me to start a productivity channel for college students!

[@DenaNguyen]

So awesome! Just subscribed as I’m interested to see what you put out. 😊

[@janellerad]

Dena Nguyen wow thanks so much!! Another learn with me video will be coming next Monday !!

[@wlodi5623]

Amazing chanell, I love design and you :))

[@martacruznunes6637]

luna da best

[@Meeeeey99]

Nice video!

[@mimi__333]

Luna is gorgeous 😍

[@amboujee]

luna da best yaaaah !

[@smoog4795]

You're doing awesome! and sorry about that client :( but you know what! you are so talented, they are missing out! (P.S. this is meg from class last semester) Keep up the awesome work. I haven't even finished one project this summer but it was hard to get pictures, the pictures were super blurry, and health junk but hoping to finish it up before school starts so it's all good. Just got to keep going :)

[@DenaNguyen]

Ah thanks so much Meg! 🙏 & Don’t be too hard on yourself I think given our current world situation it’s okay to not focus on other projects for a little. 😊

[@leaha4032]

Luna da best ♥️

[@creativeshortyy9630]

I want to do this major but scared I might not be creative enough🥺

[@nitishdubey9169]

Luna the best ❤️

[@NoraHyde21]

Where do you get all of your design work? I’m struggling to even get a graphic design internship

[@hj-zm1wo]

Meanwhile my day of a life: procrastinate till last moment, suddenly get 1000% motivation and start designing xD

[@bruh-qi7ue]

Now do an unproductive version so I can relate Lmao. Nah but tbh good shit.

[@emielie1323]

Great video ☺️. I'm studying graphic design, I'll be a third year this fall. I wanted to ask if you thought if it was worth getting an iPad? Wishing the best for you. ❤️

[@DenaNguyen]

If you do a lot of illustrations/sketching/doodling I would recommend! Depending on your workflow and budget you don’t have to get the latest one either. I still have the first generation iPad Pro that I bought used for $200.

[@lamngotien5877]

Nice day!!! Your name look like you are Vietnamese too

[@Maddie-jr5pl]

I'm thinking about enrolling into GD courses and I'm hesitating because I'm not that good at drawing. Is it alright if I take this course or would it be rather stressful?

[@leroyengelbrecht8775]

Anyone know the name to the song playing at 11:35?

[@divyachandana6565]

Which software do you use for photoshop ?

[@tushardhawan4706]

hi Dena i like your all videos . i just have one question in my mind that is which type of designer are better freelancer or full time pls hlp me with this. And best of luck for your future :)

[@DenaNguyen]

Thank you Tushar. It depends on your workflow really. Some people like the hustle of freelancing whereas other people like the stability of a full time job. I would try a bit of both so you can get a little taste from both worlds. :)

[@ankursono]

Luna da best 😉

[@buatduitdisini1063]

So you have cat and dog in one house😅I bet there's have daily noise fighting 😂

[@olaolufx7156]

you should call out another youtuber to do a boxing match🤣

[@zero8627]

Where do you work as freelancer?

[@jawaher4655]

luna da best

[@buatduitdisini1063]

😁👍👍👍

[@zetamanga5785]

Do you feel like college helped you as a designer

[@becreative509]

Hy dena

[@DenaNguyen]

Hey :)

chào chị, chị là người việt ạ

[@leilaart6395]

Oh my God, I'm so jealous of you.👍 You're in my dream life, you're a cat owner, you're a boxer and you're a successful freelance designer.😉Good luck girl. by the way,can you tell me What is the key to your success plz?🌹

[@DenaNguyen]

Success is a such subjective thing to each individual but in my eyes I’m no where close to it! I’m conscious of what I do to get a step closer to building my future but I found that just taking action and being strategic about building your dream life is important. Write it down, build visual boards, shift your mindset, have the goals set, and then follow up with execution! The key is also to be disciplined and resilient. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. ❤️

[@leilaart6395]

@@DenaNguyen Thank you so much for your advice. love you girl.I hope you are well and keep up the good work.🌹😊🙏

[@cinema4d72]

Do you have a boy friend ? I really like to have same friend like you ! you are pretty and cool !
