Creating what I wish existed.
I spend the majority of my free time designing for fun, mainly because I enjoy it and also to continue to grow my skills and experiment outside of my job. I have a social media account that I post on weekly. Between faith based designs, song lyrics and a few branding projects here and there. Over the years I have switched up my content and niches, which is not the greatest strategy for growth and retention, but I love being able to connect with others through music, faith, design and humor regardless of the following. I had 30k at my height when I focused primarily on posting the same thing daily … I had to make a choice, do I want a space where I can experiment and showcase all parts of myself, or do I want to stay placed in a box for the sole purpose of keeping a following? The account has decreased in numbers, but I have been able to grow in my skills and try new styles of design, share my life, my clothes, my various interests, etc. while still maintaining some sort of following. My favorite design quote comes from Saul Bass himself, “I want to create beautiful things, even if nobody cares ...”
