All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
::: Eckhart Tolle :::

My story:
Profesionally, I started designing in 1999. I have always been interested in arts, even before college, and after I graduated, I decided that I really want a career in the arts department even though my course wasn’t in any way related to it. So what I did is I self-studied Photoshop and HTML, that time internet was just starting to boom and I got really interested in making web pages. After gearing myself, I searched online for a job opening and found one near my home and I was really excited when they accepted me as a web designer. I really loved that job because our office was so informal, our schedule was very flexible, I could go to work any time and go home any time too. And I really learned aLOT from those guys! In 2002, I shifted from designing web pages to desktop publishing and got a job at a publication.

In 2004, I had to leave my job because the company wasn’t paying me on time and the management betrayed me. It was a good thing too because I was already stressed needed a long break and I had to stay home too to take care of my niece. My niece celebrated her first birthday and I made her a photobook. Then the party decorator saw it and suggested she offer my services to her clients. It was a really nice idea and it made me decide to go freelance.

With regards to digital scrapbooking, in 2006, my friend Liz got me hooked with Neopets and I would stalk her blog partly because of this. One day, I saw one of her scrapbook page and I found out about digital scrapbooking, she eventually got me hooked too. And I’ve been addicted to this hobby since then. Thanks Liz!
