From Cardboard Creations to Creative Entrepreneur:
This is the story of how my childhood passion for making little houses out of cardboard boxes evolved into a successful career across various creative industries.
At 16, I left home with nothing but a suitcase and a head full of dreams, determined to find my purpose through creativity.
Early Beginnings
I found joy in transforming everyday materials into miniature worlds. These early projects ignited a passion for creativity that would guide me throughout my life. I remember spending hours meticulously crafting tiny details, imagining stories for each little house.
This innate love for creating was my first hint at the path I would eventually follow.
Gaining Experience in the Creative Industries
Working as a gallery assistant was my next step. Here, I learned the intricacies of the art world, from curation to client interactions. This role was a gateway to more opportunities, leading me into various design roles.
As a designer and product designer, I tackled key projects that defined my style. I embraced each challenge, learning to balance functionality with aesthetics. My work in interior design further expanded my creative repertoire, allowing me to create spaces that reflected my clients' visions.
Running businesses was a crash course in entrepreneurship. I leaned on mentors and devoured resources, gradually mastering the art of business management. Teaching myself the necessary tools was crucial. I became proficient in various software and techniques, driven by a relentless curiosity and a desire to stay ahead.
Achieving Purpose
Today, I look back on my journey with pride. Each step, from cardboard creations to interior design, has shaped my career. I've found my purpose in blending creativity with entrepreneurship, continuously evolving and embracing new challenges. Creativity, to me, is a way of life—a lens through which I view the world.
