Pursuit of Creativity

One of the most useful (and used) advices is to follow your heart.  I am very thankful to be in a job that doesn't feel like a job at all.  I'm glad to be part of an industry that allows me to continuously think of new themes and offerings. Most of all, I'm glad to be part of a team that supports me...

The thing is, when I was a kid, I changed my job options often. From nurse to teacher or newscaster, I wanted it all.  Back then, being in advertising was not yet a solid job option. Or I thought being a copywriter was just like any other writer :) Back then, job offers consist of all kinds. From being a marketing person, to being an admin assistant, to being a research and conference assistant. Some from big companies, some from upcoming. I was glad to be part of a great team and though it was short lived, I learned a lot from my first job.  The job wherein my boss told me that I was not for a structured environment. I guess its true.

Right now, I am in an industry where routinary and conformity are no-nos.  I am thankful to have been given a lot of art books by my supportive mom.  I am thankful indeed for the internet that allows me to bounce of my ideas. I'm thankful to be in a business where my need for being free and independent is welcome. Where creative intuition is needed. 

Spa themed crafts? Star wars theme?  Activities related to winter? Name it and we can have it.  It's a never ending process and I love it.

I'm here now, and I'm going to make the most of it. I'm glad to be here.  Hope to collaborate with you in my pursuit.
