to be able to thrive in an unconventional and creative career path that affords me a comfortable life. ideally, i have autonomy over my daily tasks and work/life balance that allows me the energy to pursue outlets outside of work again. god i miss crafting. i miss painting my nails. i miss engaging in a childlike sense of wonder and curiosity.

I wasted so many years taking my creative job (in fashion) so seriously i burned out. Now im an independent artist doing silversmithing and tattooing fulltime. I just learned the basics and the safety rules, and didnt bother to learn the traditional aesthetic rules . Im more relaxed and fulfilled, and people come to me for my style ♡
Here's my self-tatted leg. I add to it when i want to practice or try something new

As someone who was always creatively inclined but hid myself away and suppressed my own voice for nearly a decade it has been so healing to put myself out there again and throw myself into experimenting with as many things as I can without shame! I love to keep myself busy and diversify my skillsets. Keeping myself intellectually stimulated is fulfilling to me and I wouldn’t have it any other way

I already do this when I can, but if I was truly analog, i’d be crafting. jack of all trades, master of none:
- crocheting
- painting(nails or canvas with acrylic)
- making jewelry
- printmaking
- quilting (big fan of improv quilting)
- drawing
- pottery/clay work
- bookbinding/scrapbooking/collaging
