ABOUT ME
(ASK WHY MY NECKLACE SAYS 'ANDREA'.)
I RETURNED TO ART CENTER SEVERAL YEARS LATER FOR A SECOND DEGREE IN PHOTOGRAPHY. DESPITE BEING AN AWARD-WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER, I COULDN'T DENY MY LOVE OF DESIGN. SOON AFTER GRADUATING, I BURIED THE IMPOSTER SYNDROME AND BECAME A GRAPHIC DESIGNER REALIZING NO CLIENT CARES IF I CAN DRAW AND SHADE A SILLY CIRCLE.
AFTER GETTING MY ENGLISH DEGREE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO, I MOVED TO LOS ANGELES TO PURSUE A GRAPHIC DESIGN DEGREE AT ART CENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN. I WAS OUTED FOR BEING A FRAUD IN MY DRAWING CLASS BECAUSE I COULDN'T DRAW AND SHADE A CIRCLE WITH A PERMANENT MARKER. SO I DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL WITH NO MONEY, NO JOB, AND NO GRAPHIC DESIGN DEGREE.

FIVE YEARS AND 120 CLIENTS LATER, I WAS BURNT OUT FROM BEING A DESIGNER-WRITER-PHOTOGRAPHER-ATTORNEY-BOOKKEEPER-THERAPIST-OFFICE CLEANER-COFFEE RUNNER-MARGARITA MAKER. AND THAT'S WHEN I BECAME A CREATIVE RECRUITER — A CREATIVE HELPING CREATIVES. HOW PERFECT IS THAT?
