Hey! I’m Janis Ozolins

End of 2016, by a lucky accident, I found a new dream for myself. Make a living online.

4 years later (a time filled with learning, failed experiments, and consumed content), still no revenue or audience.

Then I stumbled into the idea of communicating through visuals. I loved it and pursued it seriously.

6 months later, I felt momentum and left my corporate job. 1 year later, my visuals brought in more money than I made in my 9-5.

My dream to make a living online was complete. I’m feeling very grateful writing this.

Now I spend my time learning, creating, and teaching.
