Hobbies Matter
Designing is my most favorite hobby. When I think of design, I think of a beautifully detailed flower called a Dahlia. A Dahlia symbolizes elegance, inner strength, creativity, passion, peace, and dignity. These are all things that I strive to achieve through design. Every design begins with a blank canvas. It is your job to decide what to make with it, or more importantly, it is your job to decide what thoughts, ideas, and feelings you will be presenting the world. With each design I create I put in extra attentive care in creating an artistic soulful style to connect and share an authentic story with the world. Every design is rooted in meaningful passion, so that the product created not only accommodates what you do, but helps celebrate an admirable movement. It is important to realize that design is not just something you see, that It is also something that represents. Representation is created when you think about how your design work will contribute and bring back strength to the subject of representation. It is truly inspiring how our world is filled with representation through design. Our world is the constant inspiration that fuels my passion for design. The root of designing comes from creating compelling styles that clarify purpose to give feelings of understanding and grounding. Designing can often be very challenging at times because it is important to incorporate your style, reach for your dreams, constantly stay inspired, and not get too caught up in your work. It is essential to stay focused and break through these challenges to stay grounded. To me, design is so incredibly magical in how it creates such joyful meaning. It is something that I never get tired of doing. Every time I am designing I think about the work that I am doing and the goodness it is bringing back to the world. That is why I love design.
