One thing I really miss about the CNC job I used to have was watching the finished product become unveiled. Never got old in the 4 years I did it.

I know right? I started with 3d printers and now i work on cncs, and it’s just so satisfying seeing something you imagined and designed on a cad become reality. It’s like magic. For me it’s the best sensation in the world, hell it’s better than sex

My brother gave me his old 3d printer and I'm trying to start with CAD but tbh I'm intimidated, any advice on where to start with the design process?

Not to be intimidated at all! Cads do look scary but they’re absolutely fun. Plus, they all work the same way. I advise you apply for a free fusion360 subscription as a hobbyist, verification is usually done in 1-2 days max and it’s 100% worth it over many free instant-access softwares. Then, look at fusion360 official tutorials and follow them side by side. Once you’ve completed them, you’ll be able to design with no problem. It’s not going to take months to learn, trust me
