There was a time when life’s responsibilities were snuffing out my creative spark. I hoped that the spark might reignite in the magical place called “someday.”

You know, someday:  “someday when we have time to take a vacation,” or “someday after we retired. 

Back then, I found myself excelling as a brand enforcer. Through my dedicated efforts deadlines were met, sales messages flowed forth and our branded blue wrapped every marketing piece in comforting consistency. As fulfilling as my professional role was, it lacked a freedom of personal expression. I desired to create with any color BUT blue. 

It never occurred to me that in order to live an authentic life, I needed to merge the project manager and the artist into one beautiful soul.

What I’ve come to realize is that I am damn good at being organized and creative. When these two seemingly opposite traits come together in the same realm, real magic happens!
