  13. I have felt overwhelmed on a daily basis. It’s pretty

    daunting starting out. CONFESSION #1

    other people. We’ve all been there.

  15. Spread support not judgement

  16. CONFESSION #3 Blank pages are the most daunting thing I

    can think of. Where’s my creative genie?

  17. CONFESSION #4 I should have stuck to my guns a

    lot more. Have faith in yourself.

  18. CONFESSION #5 I actually really enjoy working with clients. Communication

    is key.
  19. None
  20. None
