Being a freelancer who works from home, I sometimes wish I was working in a team and office environment. Mainly due to the fact that I am missing out on interacting with other creatives in terms of sharing, learning, and experiencing together.
Saying Thank You
I have been thinking lately about where I am today and what it has taken for me to get here. Is it my own determination? Support from my friends & family? Inspiration from people I have met in my life? That one book I read? That one quote I saw on that one site? That album I listened to on repeat? You could argue each instance in my life as a whole, is what has brought me to where I am today. I would say, though, that I would not be where I am today without the people that have been in my life.
Following a dream, finding a path
I have had this dream since I first went to New York in 2009 that I wanted to live in a creative city, get really involved in the community, rent a small studio apartment, ditch my car, shop at the corner grocery store and take public transit everywhere. About six months ago I moved to Portland, Oregon and I feel like I am in am in the middle stages of exploring my dream… my dream of finding more focus, finding a path & ultimately finding success & fulfillment as a creative designer.
Let’s dive further into that, shall we?
