Where it all started.
Have you ever met someone who did not have an ounce of creativity in their bones? At that moment, it’s simple to realize that you're unique and different — and that’s where it all started.
When I was younger, I created a dinky un-hosted blog on WordPress, and I thought it was the best thing created in history. Looking back, I’m happy I thought that such a little thing was seen as an achievement of a lifetime for me. I think it was the excitement of seeing a space be crafted into something beautiful that sparked my passion for design.
Experience with art.
Visually, I would say I’ve always paid attention to details — about a room, an image, magazines, color, photography, art. Fashion is another way for me to express myself, putting all the little pieces together to create an outfit — similar to the design process and how I think of it. What is incredible about it? That everybody has a different style and will pick what represents them and their own style. When I’m not on my laptop, you can catch me reading a book, painting, writing on my personal blog, or out hiking in the mountains.
Every day, we continue to grow as individuals — hoping to evolve as the years come. I’ve built and designed many platforms using Squarespace throughout the years - learning different techniques visually and exercising best practices. I believe in simplicity and still living. The world moves fast and I think it’s important to live in stillness — and I’m talking about the stillness that allows us to notice the little things in life that we barely notice most days. This is where we see art in many forms and can find the inspiration to build designs and help humans in the process.
What inspires me
Something I’ve learned from previous years of trying to start a business, to relentlessly working hard to make my blog prominent, to going to college for a few years, and now landing in the UX/UI Design field, is the power of failing. I can’t count the number of times I’ve failed and wanted to give up. You never know how close you are to the finish line, no one does. What counts is being persistent and always moving forward.
I believe that I’ve landed where I’m needed to be and that there is so much to learn but also much I can give.
