Thanks for all of the great feedback everyone!
Craig,
I started by looking at examples and taking note of how other professional creatives presented themselves both online and in person. If you get the opportunity, ask questions! That has provided me with not only a clear direction but helps build a new relationship with that person.
Thank you Roz! I admire Chase for everything he’s done for me as a professional mentor. Honestly, there were times where I felt “unworthy” or unready to do something I really wanted to do and he’s always told me to just go for it anyway and don’t give up. His motto “Fail Harder” has definitely taught me that no matter how many times I fall down, ONLY I can stop me or keep going.
Courtney,
I can relate. Community College didn’t prepare me to network either and I had to learn that on my own after I graduated. Fortunately, in a creative community where most people are very passionate about helping others, it’s not as scary to get out there as one might think! Trust me ;)
Good of you to use a blog Glenda. That’s where I started and that’s actually how I learned more about my trade. I’m sure I could speak for all creative bloggers and Jacob when I say having a blog does motivate you to see who else is out there, learn more about the design community and encourages you to write your own insights!
Thanks for reading everyone!
