Dear Reader,

This is my first address, my call-to-action, an act of self-expression, an art piece.

“Creativity does not come out of a social vacuum.” — Josh Jordan

Changing habits, reaching out of your comfort zone, detaching oneself from their current reality, being awake, and using your mind to do more than just connect dots. It’s all apart of what I have been trying to commit to lately, as not only a designer, but a person. I am cultural in every sense of the word, aware of my surroundings, and going through interior and exterior battles everyday. I want to become something great, but where do I start? I have a college degree, I have a sense of style, my eyes seek perfection, and my designs emphasize. One thing though, is the consistency in good habits. I must improve.

“If you do what you always have done, you will get what you always have gotten.” — Henry Ford

I’ve read countless books to reach maximum potential as not only a designer but a human being, I love reading books on psychology and behavior—including The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg + The Power of Focus by Mark Victor Hansen + Do Disrupt Change the Status Quo or Become It by Mark Shayler + Working Out Sucks! (And Why It Doesn’t Have To!) by Chuck Runyon all amazing accounts of what the mind is capable of when it researches, organizes, and creates. They all point to one golden rule— take action, slowly if need be, but take action.

“Why wait for tomorrow for what you can do today.”
