From a very young age, I’ve always been curious about how things actually work on the internet.
I used to spend hours opening random websites, clicking every button, link, and image possible, inspecting layouts, and trying to figure out how everything was built behind the scenes.
At around 11 or 12 years old, I started seeing those online ads saying things like “Make money online.” Most of them were honestly useless scams, but they introduced me to a much bigger idea where people were actually building businesses and careers on the internet.
That curiosity slowly turned into experimentation.
So, I went onto Google, YouTube, Facebook Groups, etc., and started learning basic HTML and CSS, mostly by breaking random code snippets and then trying to fix them again. I would spend late nights changing colors, moving sections around, and trying to understand why one line of code worked and another didn’t (especially the semicolons in CSS).
But slowly, things became more serious.
By the time I was around 13, I had already started working on small websites, logos, banners, and random design projects for people.
Back in 2015, I actually started with the name Designz5233 for the web design and development services I was providing. (Yeah, I know… that name looks really terrible.)
And over time, I started realizing something important. Building websites alone wasn’t enough.
A business can have a beautiful website and still struggle to grow. That completely changed how I started looking at digital work.
So I slowly started learning more about SEO, branding, paid advertising, content strategy, user experience, conversion optimization, and growth systems (yeah, the list looks long).
As time went on, I realized that the brand name didn’t actually convey the message of what I was trying to solve, and yes, the name looked bad too. So I started researching how to name a brand and spent hours on that.
I came up with a name that solves the problem as well as looks unique, you know, just to stand out from the crowd.
That is UnikBrushes! (Unik in terms of uniqueness, so to prove that, I used unique letters for the word “unique.” And Brushes represents the designing skills from where I started my journey.)
Over the years, I’ve expanded UnikBrushes into web design and development, SEO, digital marketing, branding, UI/UX, content systems, e-commerce development, and growth strategy.
One thing that has always excited me is exploring new technology early. That’s a huge reason why I became deeply interested in AI and automation over the last few years.
Today, I use AI in different parts of my workflow almost every day, whether it’s for SEO workflows, content systems, UI/UX ideation, marketing execution, automation, research, or development workflows.
But for me, AI isn’t about replacing creativity.
It’s more about removing repetitive work so more time can be spent on ideas, strategy, execution, and actually building useful things.
I genuinely believe businesses that combine human creativity with AI properly are going to have a massive advantage in the coming years.
And honestly, we are already starting to see that happen.
Another thing I’ve realized over time is that I’m not really motivated by building things just to make them “look impressive.”
What interests me more is building things that actually help businesses grow.
A few things that still shape the way I work today are curiosity, continuous learning, adaptability, creativity, and long-term thinking.
The internet changes ridiculously fast, and honestly, that’s one of the things I enjoy most about this industry.
There’s always something new to learn.
And outside of work, I really enjoy traveling, riding my motorcycle, exploring scenic places, and spending time in nature.
A lot of my best ideas actually come during long rides though.
Sometimes disconnecting from screens for a while helps me think much more clearly.
And looking ahead, I still feel like I’m only at the beginning of a much bigger journey.
My goal is to continue building better systems, better experiences, and smarter digital solutions while going deeper into AI-driven workflows and future-ready technologies.
What started as simple curiosity at a young age slowly became a skill, then a career, then a business, and eventually a much bigger vision.
And honestly, I still feel like there’s a lot more left to build.
