I'm MOHAMAD ALYOUSSFI,

A designer specializing in logos, brand identities, and user interfaces. Alongside my design work, I share my experiences in freelancing and creativity through writing. I began my journey in 2007, and by 2010, I transitioned to full-time freelancing, focusing on meaningful work without the distractions that hinder creativity.

I started blogging in 2009 under the name "mysoftds" which I later rebranded to "iamlancer.com" in 2013. In 2024, I brought everything together under 80.design, a space where I focus on sharing insights for freelancers and creatives. Through my writing, I aim to reflect on both the successes and challenges of freelancing, while also showcasing some of my design work.
