I got the internship (turned into a part-time job) and on Sundays and weeknights I snuck into her office to teach myself InDesign & Illustrator and literally spent hours trying to replicate invitation designs (by JL Designs and Cici New York) – NOT TO COPY, but to teach my self spatial layouts, text layering, shapes, etc. I said I had to interview a local business for a college project (a complete lie) and then snuck in the end ‘do you take interns’? I remember where I was making the call, looking up the number in the yellow pages, and was SO NERVOUS to talk to her.
In my junior year of college, I desperately wanted to intern for a local wedding planner. I’m going to finish college and move to California. I will never, ever do this again in my life. I worked at a window factory a few summers after HS and remember sitting on the machine for hours (repeating the same thing), looking around and said to myself. I Planned baby showers in H.S., got wedding planning books for birthday gifts (yes, in High School), planned every birthday, event, etc in college. I started saving money from that day on to buy a one-way ticket to California after I graduated. And my dad went to school for architectural engineering (and is SO good with landscaping/gardens/etc).Īt 13, my dad let me rent The Wedding Planner and from that point forward I decide that is what I wanted to do.
My sister (basically my twin) went to school for interior design. One of my older brothers did photography and wax sculpting. My grandma taught me to sew clothes for my dolls. MY NOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW My Creative Entrepreneur JourneyĪs a little girl! My mom was so creative & artistic and always had us doing crafts.
