A typical day in my life includes…
I work from home so I’m basically just sitting at my computer all day, designing new graphics for my clients or going out to shoot some content. If I have time I enjoy going to the gym as well and cooking dinner with my boyfriend!
I was born…
in Downtown Phoenix on December 14th.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
my whole family is here, and as I get older I learn to appreciate it more for its sunny, warm weather.
I’m listening to…
Lennon Stella, she’s AMAZING!!!
My family…
is the best! Love them so much xx
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
my younger self, or my future self.
One thing I cannot live without…
my camera, hands down.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an artist except I’m not really good at painting, lol. However, I always knew my career would involve being creative.
I’m inspired by…
my emotions, I think I feel things very deeply so I always want to find ways for my work/art to show those emotions IRL.
The one person who motivates me is…
my mom; she is the hardest working person I know and she motivates me to push myself to reach my goals.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
climate change, of course!
The perfect day would be…
a rainy day with my loved ones, staying in, cozying up to a movie and comfort food.
My first job was…
at Forever 21. I remember turning 17 and wanting to work there SO bad, I was so excited when I got the job.
My favorite escape…
music, whenever I need a moment I just put in my headphones and let the music take me away.
My life…
is crazy and busy and moves sooo fast. I try my best to take time to step away and be grateful for being here. The internet can make you feel like you need to chase unrealistic expectations but just being able to be here right now is a blessing.
I’m currently working on…
self-love, feeling like I am enough and that I deserve the absolute best.
Always…
look for inspiration, always stay creative.
Never…
feel discouraged by what you see on social media! It’s mostly all just an illusion 🙂
Favorite Quote…
“your art
is not about how many people
like your work
your art is about
if your heart likes your work
if your soul likes your work
it’s about how honest
you are with yourself
and you must never
trade honesty for relatability”
― Rupi Kaur
Biggest Dream…
to travel the world and try new things. It sounds easy but I battle with anxiety and when I travel it gets even worse (like really bad) so I want to be able to travel everywhere and do spontaneous things! It would be a dream to do so and overcome that anxiety.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
people who can’t be honest or genuine about themselves. I can usually tell when someone isn’t being true.
