Time to fiesta 💃🏻 | Every so often, our studio takes on select graphic design projects — ones that are openly creative, challenging and somewhat out of our comfort zone. A few weeks back, a dear friend at an reached out needing a custom pendant designed for their team at San Antonio Fiesta. My initial reaction was a bit standoff-ish, and even after hearing the full project scope, it took me a few days to say yes.

Never in my life had I ever designed a pendant. I wasn’t sure if I even knew how. I questioned if my drawing skills were still intact. My self doubt told me that I wasn’t good enough, or that the firm would hate what I would put together. So many fears came rushing to the surface and it was really tough to silence them.

After seeing this project through completion, project was a great reminder to always believe in yourself. To trust your strengths and understand your talents. To not let fear ruin an interesting opportunity. And lastly — this if for the creative folks following — to only work with clients who recognize, value and support the service you provide! There is nothing worse than having drive for a project, only to have a client question your judgement, or your own mind tell you “you can’t do it”. Stay true to yourself, stay connected with your skill set, and the rest will fall into place 💫
