Fun fact - your experiences in your life have prepared you for this exact moment. Let me explain...
I am not trained as a graphic designer. Sure, I know how to use the fancy design programs and I've invested a lot into my own design education. But my college degree is in landscape architecture - designing places and spaces, not logos!
But that landscape design training is what has helped me find success in graphic design. I focus on creating experiences - both for my clients and to help *others* feel a certain way when they discover a business. I look at design differently than others that may have gone through a design program, and that's what makes me the right designer for some people, where others benefit from working with someone trained through a graphic design program.
Long story long - there is no perfect path to where you want to go and not necessarily one way is better than another. No education is wasted! No skills are a loss. Everything you've worked at in your life can help you be the best version of yourself at this *exact* moment. So OWN the experience you have, your education, your work experience. It's gotten you this far and is worth celebrating!
