Hey, I’m Rebecca

What is your creative Journey?

My creative journey didn't really take off until college. I was never a particularly artsy kid (although I was creative in other ways) and my family all worked in non-creative fields, so I didn't even know that graphic design was a career path. Initially drawn to a career in healthcare, I stumbled upon an advertising class that ignited my passion for creativity. I made a quick pivot in my major, delving into film, design, and media. It felt like a floodgate of untapped creativity opened, and I couldn't get enough. During my college years, I found myself helping family and friends with logos and websites. It became evident that design was the path for me! It's never too late to embrace your creative passions and chart a new course in life.

What are Your future business plans?

I would love to continue growing my business over the next years, eventually expanding into an intimate agency. One thing I miss about working in-house is creative parters, so it would be great to have another partner to bounce ideas off of and hold each other accountable. I am also working on creating a shop for posters and potentially for Webflow templates, so we will see where that leads.

Can you share some lessons you've learned through your creative career?

The biggest lesson I've learned is to leave your ego at the door! It takes a really long time to hone in design skills and there will always be areas to improve in. It's so important to be humble, learn from more experienced creatives, ask questions when you don't know something, and be open to critiques. It's helped me to become a much better designer and to build a great creative community.

How does tools like Webflow and Figma help your business process?

Webflow and Figma help me endlessly. Both tools allow full creative control during my design process. I love Figma because I can easily create color and type systems and apply them to my whole site design. It also feels much more intuitive than other design tools. Webflow is such a game changer. I previously worked in tech, where I would have to go back and fourth with developers to get the desired product. Webflow allows me to have full autonomy over my designs, which results in much more engaging and creative websites. Figma and Webflow are my secret weapons!
