Next, I might put together some mood boards or word associations to get the creative juices flowing.

The creative process and design elements are fun, but seeing the finished project is what I love the most.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be quite honest, COVID gave me a lot of time to re-think my career. I have been an artist for as long as I could hold a pencil in my hand. But I wasn't making a living from that talent. When COVID forced the lock down of so many businesses and I personally found myself not working, I began the planning process of starting my own creative business.
