About | Edd Zain

For over 4 years, I've thrived as a UIUX designer. But in the end of 2022, something shifted. My mental wellbeing decreased, so I launched a mental health + career content on Twitter, for fun, that exploded from a small community to over 18,600 (now over 20.5k!) engaged followers.

It became more than just sharing career content - it became a community of passionate tech peeps, and collaborations with powerhouses like General Assembly and airasia academy followed.

The most rewarding part? Witnessing the power of open dialogue and seeing others feel accepted and understood. This experience ignited a spark - the power of empathy and genuine connection.

But amidst giving, I craved growth.

So, I took a leap of faith. I quit my job, embraced freelancing, and explored the world. It wasn't just about supporting others' mental health anymore; it was about extending that compassion to myself.

My commitment to open dialogue extends beyond social media. TEDx talks, university lectures, collaborating with General Assembly and AirAsia Academy — these weren't just accolades, they were opportunities to empower others.

What makes me different?

Yes, I specialize in design. But I also possess the unique ability to connect with people through content writing. My Twitter account, brimming with tips and personal stories, garnered nearly 5k followers in just 2 months!

I'm also a mental health advocate. Bipolar Disorder and BPD haven't been easy companions for over 10 years, but they've shaped me into a fighter, equipped me to foster an environment of open communication and empathy.

This perspective allows me to offer a unique niche – career and freelance advice through the lens of mental well-being.

I'm here to bridge the gap between design and well-being. Let's build a new generation of confident, healthy design professionals, together!

Design. Connection. Growth. These three words encapsulate my journey.
