- I think a lot of people go through this. It's important to try different things to see what it is that ignites you. You can start with small projects, internships or collaborations with other creatives. It can also be helpful to build a portfolio and develop skills through online courses. The main thing is to move forward, even in small steps!
- My advice would be to start building a portfolio you can use canva for free or if you are already paying for adobe creative suite and you can create an adobe portfolio for additional cost. You can collab with models from the dots then pitch to people and brands to get paid work. That's what I did. You can try lots of things you don't have to have to pigeon hole yourself especially at the beginning of your career. The front of my business card says that I am an all around creative.
- I just kind of fell into what I do. I always wanted to design publications, editorial, magazines. Now I’ve been designing in marketing teams for 8 years and love it. It’s to be open to possibilities
- I used to do silly short films with friends when I was a kid, but really enjoyed the editing aspect, then further down I just got really into video editing and short filmmaking
- Everyone has their own story of how it happened, to me I always knew I wanted to work on campaigns and lookbooks for brands and designers around the world but I just didn't accept it until last
