“I Am an Anxious Graphic Designer” is a bilingual zine that visualises ten common creative anxieties—impostor syndrome, procrastination, burnout, guilt of resting, and more—through bold typography, layered textures, and quotes from mental-health experts or people who also suffered from similar issues.
Paired with a fold-out flyer “But I’m Totally Okay with It”, which archives personal design-related artefacts, the project offers both an emotional mirror and a grounding memory map. The aim is to make anxiety visible, open to conversation, and less isolating, while providing mental health resources for Belgium and Taiwan.
