Saving the world, one graphic design at a time.

Yes, I'm a person with a tagline.

Since my recent, self-employment status came unexpectedly, I wasn't prepared with a specific focus for my new business other than, "I will design for money." It's been a month now. I have created a website, gotten business cards, networked my heart out, and basically adjusted myself to a life without a real schedule. It's awesome, by the way, just not something I'm used to. The kids are home for the summer and so am I, so I'm working more at night and sleeping later in the morning. It's more in keeping with my natural bio-rhythm.

During this month I have also had the opportunity to really hone in on what I want to do with my life, work-wise. This has been such an awesome opportunity for me to re-craft life after 17 years of being out of college and into a career. Everything I am doing is leading me in the direction of my passions. I am an activist at heart, no doubt about it. Since high school I have felt strongly about something or other that is not in the mainstream view, and therefore something or other that I believe needs changing.


















I am happy to report that I am finding myself merging my passions with my work. I really can save the world, one graphic design at a time, AND earn a living! Or is "graphic design" limiting? I paint and I write, too. Oh, well, I'll get the semantics right soon ... at least I know I'm heading down the right path.

Be the change you want to see in the world,
Jessi
