Ever since I was little, I’ve always known that I was meant to do something creative. When I was younger, I was always drawing or making things, pictures, handmade gifts, little creations—just because I felt like it. Creating felt natural to me, and it was how I expressed love, how I processed the world, how I processed my emotions, and how I felt like me.

For a while, I even thought I wanted to be an astronaut because of how much love I have for the stars, but deep down I always knew the truth: I wanted to be an artist.

I love art. I always have.

Growing up, though, being an artist wasn’t really encouraged. Everyone was worried about how I’d support myself, and honestly, I get it, being an artist isn’t easy. On top of that, I dreamed of having the best art supplies. I watched my favorite YouTubers using Ohuhu markers and Prismacolor pencils, and I wanted them so badly, but my mom couldn’t afford things like that. So I learned to make do with what I had, even though I knew how much better my art would be if I had the right tools.

Because I felt discouraged about it being a “real” career, I tried managing by doing other things. I explored different areas for my future, but nothing ever stuck. Nothing felt right. Nothing lit me up the way art did back then during my freshman year when something clicked.

I decided I didn’t care what other people thought anymore. I didn’t want to wake up every day stuck in a job I hated. I didn’t want to retire someday and realize I never did anything I was passionate about. I truly believe that if you have a passion for something, you can succeed.

That’s when a bigger dream started for me.

I started thinking more about where I fit in the art community. I want to create my own art supplies—high-quality but affordable. I want kids like me kids with talent, passion, and big ideas, to have access to tools that don’t feel impossible to reach. Art shouldn’t be limited by money.

So I decided I want to build something bigger first a social media app just for artist a space where artist can promote themselves build portfolios and get their name out there without being drowned out by everything else on mainstream platforms no algorithms working against creativity no pressure to compete with trends that have nothing to do with our just a space for artists to grow exist and be seen

There's so many layers to this idea and I know it won't happen all at once. I don't have all the money right now. I don't have all the resources yet, but I know I can do it someday.

Right now I'm taking the first step

At the heart of all this, I’m just a girl with an ambiguous heart and a really big dream.

I’ve always been silly, creative, and a little unconventional, and I want that energy to live not just in my heart, but in the spaces I create. One day I want a workplace where people feel welcome, where employees aren’t afraid to express themselves or share ideas, where creativity isn’t stifled by fear of “making the boss mad.” I want people to feel valued here and free to be themselves.

I’m selling commissions to support this dream in every piece. What I create moves me one step closer to something bigger. I hope to create a future where artists, young and old, feel confident in their work, a future where creativity isn’t limited by money, fear, or lack of resources.

I want artists to have the tools they need, the space they deserve, and the belief that art matters. I want little kids who love to draw, just like I did, to grow up knowing that their dreams are possible.

I know I can’t do everything on my own, but this is where it starts. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting my art, and thank you for being part of this journey with me. <3
