What is The Bunker?
Hello! 👋
I've spilled 3 coffees in the office. It's hard to believe, but it's true. I've made a fool of myself three times already this year. Next time I’ll take a picture and I’ll share it here 🤣
The Bunker? Wait what? Let me explain 👇
I'm Jordi Espinosa, and I've been working as a freelance designer for 10 years.
Throughout these years, I've made countless mistakes. Perhaps too many.
In 2022, I decided to start the project called "The Bunker." The Bunker is a project where I share my mistakes, small achievements, and experiences with other designers.
Especially with designers who are just starting out, maybe feeling stuck, or even those who are successful but still struggling to find a happy path.
The idea is simple: the mission is to help designers, creatives, and creators grow and build their careers while finding fulfillment and happiness in the journey.
And I emphasize finding fulfillment and happiness in the journey.
I've been there.
Life sometimes feels stressful, especially when we don't have control over things or when we obsessively focus on the results.
I know how it feels when you work hard for something and still don't achieve the expected results. It's frustrating.
That's why, in The Bunker, we will cover various topics related to building your career and how you can be a little happier along the way. In other words, no matter what you achieve, I'll make sure you're as happy as possible during the journey.
Above all
The key to this project is providing content based solely on pure experience.
I take the trouble to dedicate twice the time to the content to ensure it has the maximum value possible, so that each read is worth it.
Because why? It's about consuming valuable content that can resonate with you. If we rush and cover only super popular topics, you won't find value in that.
So, what can I expect from The Bunker?
Well, the first thing you need to know is that I'll send you an email every Friday at 2:00 PM.
Okay, what kind of emails can I expect?
As I mentioned, this newsletter is primarily focused on creators who want to grow their careers while finding the right balance between being happy and doing something that truly fulfills them.
As expected, the main topics will revolve around:
How to start your career as a freelancer.
How to build an audience.
How to build a brand.
How to launch your first product online.
How to achieve digital freedom.
How to create content on social media.
Establishing systems.
Freelancing best practices.
And so much more.
On the other hand, since I'm a designer myself and a significant portion of the readers who consume this newsletter are designers as well, we'll also cover topics like:
Design best practices.
Web Design & Webflow Development.
Learning how to build an audience.
How to create content for social media.
How to land your first UX job.
UX Interviews.
UI Inspiration.
UX/UI Best Practices.
UX/UI Insights.
Photography.
So, what are you waiting for? See you inside, right?
Join other +500 designers.
🎫🏆 The Bunker Premium Access 🎫🏆
Yes!
I can finally announce that I've created the paid-subscription model! Why?
The content I make at The Bunker has pure value, so it’s time consuming. It takes way too much time.
To provide real value, it takes a lot of work. It's research, thinking, writing and shaping content in a way that is understood by the audience.
Getting, writing and transmitting content of real value costs a lot more than creating content with artificial intelligence (it is what it is).
That's why I've decided to enable this subscription programme, so you can enjoy more content like this.
🌟 What new things can I get as a paid subscriber?
Exclusive interviews with UX/UI designers from Adobe, Google...
+1 exclusive posts every week.
Access to Subscriber Live Chat. We’re enabling the live-chat functionality. This basically means that we’re enabling a sort of community channel where we can talk all together in live.
In there, I’ll answer all the questions you have.
I’ll share exclusive content behind the scenes (some pictures while being in the office developing new features for the product, for example).
+100 free resources, links and tools that are part of my repository as UX/UI Designer in the footer of the posts.
Access to behind the scenes content. I'll share screenshots, videos and content related to the projects I'm doing every week so you can see how they are built.
Free content in my Gumroad shop, with links visible only to them (nobody else can download it).
Guides, courses and books.
🤔 Why should you become a paid subscriber?
Because you like the content you consume and because you value the work and time behind each post.
Because you want to make a little extra money every month thanks to the content you consume.
Because you are curious to get new links, resources and exclusive downloadable material.
Because you want to have access to exclusive material such as guides and downloadable documents that are only offered in the Newsletter.
