My WikiHow Expert Guides: Web Design, Logo Creation & Freelancing Tips for Creatives
If you told me 10 years ago that my experienced design voice would be featured on WikiHow, I would have been speechless. What started as an exciting opportunity in 2024 has grown into another feature in 2025, and it still feels surreal. Over the past two years, working with WikiHow has been both humbling and empowering. It’s a platform that reaches millions of readers worldwide, and being able to contribute my insights as a creative professional has been an incredible honor. Every moment has reminded me how much persistence, storytelling, and authenticity can open doors you never imagined. I’m excited to share what this milestone means to me and how this journey with WikiHow came to life.
Why This Feature Matters
This opportunity matters to me because it aligns perfectly with my mission as a creative: to amplify underrepresented voices and make design knowledge accessible to everyone. When I first started, I didn’t have a roadmap, mentors, or free resources that broke things down in a way that felt easy to follow. Being able to contribute to WikiHow means I get to be that resource for someone else who’s just starting.
It’s also a reminder of how far I’ve come. Over the past two years, I’ve not only grown my design agency, Sunni Aesthetics, and launched The Four Percent Amplified podcast, but I’ve also leaned into roles where I can teach, guide, and empower other creatives. Sharing my expertise on WikiHow means that the tips, tools, and insights I’ve gained can reach millions of people who are dreaming of starting something, whether that’s a website, a logo, or a freelance career.
I believe that when people are equipped with knowledge, they can build their opportunities. This is why I take these expert guides seriously; they’re not just how-to articles, they’re stepping stones for someone’s career, passion, or future.

I emphasize the importance of treating freelancing as a business by:
Setting clear expectations and boundaries with clients.
Learning how to confidently price your services.
Using contracts to ensure you’re paid fairly and on time.
Building long-term relationships with clients instead of one-off projects.
Closing Thoughts
Contributing, and supporting WikiHow has been one of the most rewarding ways I’ve been able to give back to the creative community. By sharing my expertise through these guides, I’ve had the chance to help designers, entrepreneurs, and creatives of all levels take that first step with confidence. Whether it’s teaching someone how to create their first website, design a logo, or start freelancing, these resources are meant to break down big, intimidating goals into something approachable and achievable.
I believe that everyone deserves access to the tools and guidance they need to bring their ideas to life, and being part of this platform allows me to reach people I may never meet but can still inspire.
For every designer out there who’s just starting or trying to level up, these guides are for you! I hope they give you the clarity, confidence, and encouragement to create boldly and build something you’re proud of.
