I talk about art, design, and creativity
Small, broken steps make up something that can be much bigger and impactful.
Something small.
A change.
A tweak.
Keep your steps small.
So small that you can grasp whatever it is in the palm of a single hand.
And then do that 365 times to create something bigger.
3 years ago, I was a design student sitting in on a digital marketing 101 workshop hosted by General Assembly in downtown, Toronto.
3 years later, our business at The Habit Factory is now partnering up with General Assembly to deliver a workshop to help aspiring UX Designers succeed.
So much can change in 3 short years.
And that’s the magic of it all.
3 years can seem like forever, but at the same time feel like a quick snap.
If you consistently work towards your goals, I promise something will change.
The journey is a friend.
When I first walked through the doors of my university, I didn’t know what it’d bring. In a very similar way, I didn’t know what would happen as I walked out of those doors into what general society refers to as “real life” and post-graduation (or as we’re calling it today, mid-pandemic).
I think I could’ve planned all I wanted to, but maybe only 9% of those plans would actualize because my circumstances would change. I’d value different things, I’d think a different way, and I’d just grow apart from the things I used to want to pursue (like fashion illustration).
I feel very at peace with the decisions I’ve made, and I don’t think I could’ve honestly planned my way here. It was much more of responding in real time to things as they came along.
Things happen and we can change our minds.
I see it now as this: I prefer being friends with my journey over making it something I demand utter control over.
