Hi! As a teenager, I didn't know what I wanted to go to college for. But I knew I had to go and my mother really wanted me to get a business degree, so I chose that. The college I went to had an amazing art department and I had a feeling I belonged there, I looked at the kids and wished I was them. I hated my marketing jobs when I got out, so I went back to school for graphic design. I loved all the art classes but didn't like the computer ones. It was my attempt to find a 'decent' career and still be able to be artistic. I spent 15 years doing graphic design, and I didn't love doing it. In 2023, I stopped and realized I wasn't living the life I wanted or enjoying it. 3 years of soul searching and effort later, I am now working jobs in new industries (including this one!) and feeling really fulfilled by them. And studying art forms I truly love. I also finally started the business I have been dreaming of for years. What made the biggest difference was changing my thoughts!
