Hi again!
So this past week has been insane. In one week I met with four professional designers. They all had their own expertise, wether that be in print, web, branding or illustrations. However, from my research it seemed like they all few similar ideas.
1. Never stop drawing or creating for your self.
All in all, this past week has been one of the most stressful yet most rewarding weeks yet, and I am very thankful to have been given such a great opportunity to sit down with such amazing designers and talk about their jobs and their own journeys. They have all given me so much insight and inspiration to keep working hard and pursuing my passions.

1. Never stop drawing or creating for your self.
- It is important to realize that you get motivation and inspiration from doing things you love, and as a designer you will create things for other people and you won't have as many opportunities to make something that you are truly passionate about. So in order bring some new ideas to the table, keep creating, keep drawing, keep doing what you love.
- While high school is an amazing opportunity to learn and discover what you love, don't get caught up in grades and taking every class available to you. High school is just a starting point and college will teach you about the things necessary to your field.
- Meaning, that in order to get your name out to the public, have good relationships, connections, and make a good reputation for yourself. Especially in art related careers, communication is vital, and ensuring that you have a good work ethic can make it easier for you as a designer to get more clients.
