Yet, I still sometimes struggle with feeling like it's not a “real” job.
Then I remember, I’ve heard “how’s your ‘lil business’ going?” turn into pure admiration saying “WAIT – you designed that?”
But now, you’re constantly having to prove to people that “yes, it is a real job”. Even if you’re making lil’ videos to market yourself on the ‘gram.
I’m absolutely obsessed with being a brand & web designer (like pinch me, I must be dreaming, right?!)
I once shot a wedding video for $200...we all start somewhere amiright? Loved telling a story through video.

Wannabe Youtuber

Out of boredom, I started creating custom illustrations for my friends + family during the pandemic to pass time.

Life-changing Pivot
With the help of my internship with Oh Happy Dani, a huge non-profit fangirled over my designs & wanted to work together!

I realized being a product-based biz wasn't for me. I always wanted to be working on my website instead.
Wait...I hate this
