My view is companies should write "About" pages in third person; individuals should write "About" pages in first person. Way more of a personalised approach to what is supposed to be a page for connecting with viewers on predominantly an emotional level. Use your portfolio/projects page to sell on the tangible reasons the viewer should get in contact.

I like how you shared about knowing who you are as a designer. Doing so can be pretty difficult and I'm glad to know that there's a process of iterations and re-brands. Sometimes in the design industry, we just dismiss or look down upon those who we think are still trying to find themselves. But that itself is a difficult process especially if one has gone through so much conditioning to be someone else other than themselves.

Great for you if you feel its right time to update your look for the branding. You gave so much good balanced advice in the video, and choose nice layout, and type on the back of your card, but I would have to give you a question on the change of branding. The last logo was great and simple and stood well to been made into a tidy icon as the shapes were think. The new one looks more like the idea needs more work. The star does not really balance anything, with the points too small on screen. The oval is way to light when reduced, you would need to rebalance the weight, it just feels a little junior vs the rest of your work and skill. Lets see if you push it forward in another video.
