This photo was taken 9 years ago. It was my first brand shoot after leaving my day job to fully go into my evening job, so understand I was testing the waters with my personal brand. My intention was to show off my personality - not too formal, not too casual, just the perfect blend. I didn’t know where this chapter of business would take me, let alone the journey of highs and lows. I was ambitious and ready to take on anything!
So much has changed since then. Back then, I envisioned a big office with many creative minds working alongside me, co-creating work that leaves an impact. And even though, 9 years later, the vision for impactful work hasn’t changed, the desire for a massive office, big accolades, or lofty titles has shifted. I don’t need to win awards, but if they happen, that’s great. I don’t want a big office, but I do embrace collaborating with creative minds. I don’t seek big titles, but I love working with brands where I can provide value that goes beyond the scope of work, making a true difference.
I sit back and reflect on the amazing brands I get to work with, and the people within these companies who pour their heart and soul into what they do. As much as the young woman from 9 years ago envisioned working with such brands, I still pinch myself when I think about the beautiful opportunities I’ve been afforded. One thing's for sure: I never take any of it for granted.
9 years later, and my passion hasn’t faded. I love what I do. In fact, every day I love it more and more as I see myself stepping into a bigger purpose. And that, for me, is so much more than the titles, awards, or recognition.
