Inner workings 

The last week has been a touch-and-go battle with my website. A disfunctioning update wreaked havoc in the machinations of my site that shut it down for a couple of days. Darn those plugins… on the upside it turned out to be a great thing, it forced me to end the love/hate relationship that I had with my site’s former design. I had been meaning to get to it more than once and allowed myself to be sidetracked for other projects and so it stayed, as it was, until it finally broke. Lesson learned, “don’t leave until tomorrow things that can be done today.” It’s still a work in progress, pieces still to add and streamline, but so far it’s a well functioning, clean form. I hope you like it.

Every season of life is different, sometimes lingering, sometimes fleeting, but always changing. Seven years as a Graphic Designer  have shown me that as with anything else, there are also seasons within the design field. Months can go by without any Freelance work and then suddenly many projects flow in keeping me busy for a few months. Some of them are paid and some are not but all help keep my skills honed. The trick is to prioritize and manage your time well, avoiding becoming overwhelmed, always keeping your deadlines in sight. The more projects you can bring in the more experience you gain and the more your name will hopefully circulate, bringing in more business. Ultimately my goal is to become self-employed and have my own mini studio. Until then, the balance continues.
