Personal and Artistic Growth

Think back to the younger version of yourself who first felt that spark. Live in a way that respects that start.
The path may not look like what I imagined, but that doesn’t make it any less meaningful. Different can still be good.
Every time I stick to my own taste, I strengthen who I am. That’s where my real voice comes through.
Don’t second-guess your own taste. Even if others look away, stay true to what you know fits you.
Find joy in what you do, even when it’s tough. Work feels lighter when it aligns with what fuels you.

Comfort comes with a hidden cost. What feels safe now can quietly take away the drive for more.
Patience is key. When you're in it, the process feels endless, but once it’s over, it’s like a blink.
Stay flexible and keep refining. Growth is about keeping what works and letting go of what doesn’t.
Trust the process, even when it feels uncertain. Be ready for both the good and the bad—you’ve handled it before, and you will again.

Ask for what you want, even if it’s uncomfortable. Clarity earns respect.
Managing work is one thing; building trust is where the real value lies.
Freelance life has its waves. Success comes from being ready for both the highs and lows.
Show up ready and professional, even when you’re just starting out. Laying that groundwork early pays off later.
Know your value and set your rates to reflect that. It’s not just about market trends, but what you bring to the table.
Look back at past work, not just to remember, but to learn. Your history is full of lessons.
