So I have been listening to some really cool podcasts about creative business owners, and they have some wonderful ideas about how to make your blog more interesting and how to really tell your story online. One of their ideas was to have a blog series and I have chosen to feature some interviews with some awesome young professionals and designers. Since I am in the process of conducting "interviews" (not as serious at it might seem), I won't give away who all I am working with, but I WILL tell you that I will be sharing the work, ideas and talent of some pretty AWESOME people. I can't wait to share with you what great (and diverse/unique/creative) things they are doing! It truly shows the possibilities available with a little equipment, training, natural talent, will-power and SOCIAL MEDIA. These kids are making their dreams possible by doing what they absolutely love, and therefore are successful! One of my interviewees-to-be just said it best when he said "
I love what I do and it doesn't seem like work to me." So true. It's an awesome feeling to talk to my friends and know not only that they're like me, but that we can share our ideas and help each other grow. I have discovered over the past two years that I don't like being boxed in, and that I thrive on endless creativity and collaboration. With that being said, I can't WAIT to share with you the fabulousness that are these young and talented people! My first interview feature will be with my friend and fellow graphic designer, lover of social gatherings, and a good laugh: Andy Jordan. I've known him for a few years and he just recently accepted a graphic design position at a firm in OKC. I'll be posting his interview in the next few days! I hope you are all as excited as I am!
SPOILER ALERT!!! (not really) Here is a sampling of what is to come with my interview series:
- A new professional graphic designer and funny guy (Andy Jordan, mentioned above)
- A southern social media guru specializing in digital communication
- A sassy fashionista on the West coast with some exquisite taste and a thing for jelly fish
- A self-taught photographer and designer who has an impeccable eye and love of horses
Alrighty fans and friends, I have to go pack. I am travelling for a few days for work!
Have a beautiful evening!
P.S. If you or someone you know want to be a super cool interviewee, hit me up! I'd love to talk to any of you!!!
