Inspiration is all around you. I just have to open my eyes and let it in. I need to be observant of the world around me, how it works, and why it’s affecting me. I soak in the ideas around me because observation of the world is the biggest contributing factor for my inspiration. As a graphic designer, I’m tasked with inspiring others in my designs; to be honest, feeling inspired can be a fleeting feeling when putting yourself creatively head-first into your work every day. This is when inspiration is crucial to me and my growth. It shows me what I aspire for and provides me a compass needle of insight and direction to that point.
When the dark times in the inspiration-less abyss fall upon me, I resort to other people and platforms. I follow the ideas that inspire me, the people that stimulate me and make my world serve me for my needs. Everyday I fill my needs with what makes me tick.

The bottom line: I may not be a great writer. I may not know how to boost a social post or compose a jingle. But I am inspired by the world around me, which allows me to create graphics to the best of my ability so that you can make your bottom line black.
