Losing the security of a job can be a scary thing, Losing the security of a job can be a scary thing, unless you're incredibly lucky and you already have something else lined up. Some days I worry about the future, what I'm going to do next, or I simply feel sad that I won't get to work with the awesome team I was in before. I have my creative business, but it's not ready to fully support me just yet. So I still need to find that steady day-to-day work and financial security.⁣ ⁣ Redundancy is hard and horrible and often happens at the worst time (like, for example, in the middle of a global pandemic!), but the key thing is to remember that it's in no way a reflection on you or your work. It's something that is out of your control. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈβ£ ⁣ I'm still not through the tunnel yet, but I'm extremely lucky to have a supporting family and friend network who are encouraging and patient. I'm so grateful for them. πŸ’›β£ ⁣ Life has thrown up a good few hurdles this past year, but I'm focusing hard on my mental health and getting back on track. Some days this means I just don't have the stamina for social media or replying to messages. I try, but it's a process. 😊 And a large part of that process is learning to look forward and dedicate my time to the things that will provide stability and security in the long-run.⁣ ⁣ (This graphic is from my upcoming design resources collection, Alchemical. Can't wait to showcase the whole set!).
To help work through some mental health issues in To help work through some mental health issues in recent months I've taken up a couple of non-digital art hobbies. Namely, pointed-pen calligraphy and watercolour painting. πŸ–ŒπŸŽ¨β£ ⁣ Both of these activities are incredibly relaxing, and I find they work best when the house is quiet and I'm done with my digital work for the day. I'm still very much a novice in both calligraphy and watercolours but I'm trying to do a little of both each day to improve. As soon as I'm confident enough I'll share some of my stuff (this might take a while - like I said, very much a novice!). πŸ˜„β£ ⁣ What non-digital creative pursuits do you turn to when you need to relax and unwind?
β˜€ It's getting really warm in the UK now and I h β˜€ It's getting really warm in the UK now and I hope that means we can be more (safely) sociable. My other half is celebrating a big birthday this week, so we've been trying to organise something nice for him while still being a little cautious. I'd have loved to take him away on a weekend break but we just don't know for sure if we should do that yet, so we're doing a cosy family + friends gathering instead. πŸ‘Œβ£β£β  ⁠ Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I'm currently day-job hunting after the amazing company I worked for closed their EU business branch. It was so sad to say goodbye to the team I worked with - we all got on great and it was a lovely office atmosphere! But hey ho, these things happen and there have been far worse events in the past year to contend with. So I'm staying positive and keeping my ear to the ground on job sites and Linkedin.⁣⁣⁠ ⁠ On the plus side, redundancy has meant I've had more time to focus on my own business and design lately...⁣⁣⁠ ⁠ And speaking of, this image is the first preview of my new design resources, Alchemical. It's a collection of alchemy-inspired icons and seamless patterns and I can't wait to share the whole set with you! 😊
