I am so certain that I want to be an designist
(designer and artist)- and I know I was always meant to do it!
I am so grateful- but I know I was only able to do this because I never caved to the pressure to do what was easy or what “was what I should do”. I listened to myself, and sometimes it gets hard because the people closest to me frequently tell me I should do what I am told. But if I did I wouldn’t be able to explore the world, and would never have realized my dream.
The biggest challenge now is to make my place in the world and stay focused my career cannot be separated from my life so I have to stay determined to bring art and design together and not let people squeeze me into just ONE thing. I want to design and make everything!
