WHERE MY LOVE FOR DESIGN STARTED
Growing up, my dream was to become an artist. I had a deep love for drawing, painting and scrapbooking, and fortunately, it came naturally to me. At a young age, I recognized my gift and knew that my passion for art would shape my future in some way.
Towards the end of high school, I discovered graphic design and realized how I could use my talent in a new and innovative way. I decided to go to college for design, and secured my first job at an advertising agency immediately after graduation. Over six years of full-time work, I gained so much knowledge. However, I reached a point where I started to question my career.
This marked a turning point in my journey. Unhappy with my current job, I decided to step away from design altogether and pursue an online health and wellness business. The idea of travel and the financial freedom it offered captivated me. This period helped me grow and pushed me beyond my comfort zone, but design was still on my mind.
Over time, I discovered that my doubts weren't about design all along, but rather about working for someone else. I realized that my love for creativity hadn’t really faded, but I wanted to pursue it on my own terms. So, I made the leap to become a small business owner and founded my own graphic design studio. Here we are 5 years later—running my business from the comfort of my own home, serving so many incredible businesses daily!
