I wanted to learn some techniques to create better images and designs for my site so I took a class at Nicole's Classes (online). I loved it so much that I kept taking classes and ended up taking almost every class they offered! The key to improving design skills is to practice, practice, practice. Taking online classes (and doing the homework) helped me to keep working at it a little bit at a time. I also took a few Skillshare classes as well, and I've heard great things about the classes offered at Atly. While taking online classes, I learned so much, and when my publisher saw my work, they asked if I would be interested in illustrating a diary for them (Watkins' Every Day Matters diaries), which I was thrilled to do. I've been working on those diaries for three years and my work there lead me to get other design jobs. I primarily use Adobe Illustrator for my design work, but I also use Adobe Photoshop and InDesign on occasion. (less)

Self-Discovery Through Music (& Journal Prompts!)

Since we’re in the middle of the Gratitude Challenge, I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about something I’m insanely grateful for: music. There are many, many reasons why I love music, but I think they all me back to one singular reason: music is a great tool for self-discovery. It’s such a great tool, in fact, that it inspired me to write The Story of You

Why is music a great tool f
