CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF CREATIVE FREEDOM 🥳
One year ago today, I took a leap of faith to turn my passion into a full-time career.
As some of you know, after graduating college, I spent about four years working for a company designing apparel. These designs were printed for some of the country's biggest colleges, national parks, and outfitters. During my trip to Breckenridge in October, we even saw multiple t-shirts I had designed inside the stores on Main Street!
That being said, by November of last year, my side hustle had started to surpass my day-to-day work. I prayed about it, I talked with my friends and family, and came to the conclusion that it was time to make the switch.
Since starting this creative journey, there wasn't an exact path to success, nor were there many mentors I could reach out to initially. Now, I have several people I can bounce ideas off of or ask for advice. I also love being completely open with other artists about my process and helping where I can. Over the past year, I've painted some of the largest murals of my life and continue to build friendships and business relationships with so many kind people.
There's no way I'd be where I am today without the incredible support of my parents, family, friends, and my faith. I feel truly blessed every day that I wake up and get to do exactly what I've set out to do.
With many exciting projects in the works and new life changes ahead, I can't wait to see what the next year of business brings! Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me with your kind words in the comments, likes, and shares.
