Hi! It has been so long since I last wrote a "blog" post that I don't even know where to start. And now I have started.

As I write, I am just as frightened to put myself out there as if I was saying all of this in person. I am listening to my favorite instrumental piece, Zvenya, to see if that helps me announce to the world that I have just started a profile on Gumroad and uploaded work that people can now purchase.

I am sure there are a lot of people around the world who are just like me and who are terrified of the thought of starting something new.

I studied Graphic Design many years ago, freelanced for a little while and received a job proposal in a different area that consumed the last 6 years of my life. I have always loved to work in creative fields and on my creativity and while I have found I could use it in whatever job I decided to do, there was nothing I was more passionate about than design and this virtual world I proud myself of living in.

It was a shock to discover I would practically have to study everything all over again, not just because I forgot most of what I had learned, but so many things changed. Imagine that when I was in college I was still using Adobe Fireworks.

So here I am, 26 years old, investing my money in traveling the world and studying Graphic Design and slowly getting myself back into the career I want to have. I hope to share more about this journey with you all.

🖤
