🎂I’m 30!!! So incredibly grateful for this life and privilege to be another year older. I admire the person I’ve become and I’m excited to meet the version of me in this next decade.

My 20’s were a wild ride and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m grateful for all the relationships, friendships, life lessons, and experiences I’ve encountered along the way.

People aren’t lying when they say that the 30’s are the best years - it feels like your 20’s but you have more adult money. While I still have some things to work out and goals to achieve, I’m super proud of how much I’ve grown in the last decade, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

But ofc, I wouldn’t be anything without community, so if you read this far, just know I appreciate everyone who has stuck with me on this journey despite seeing the best and worst parts of me. You all make me feel incredibly loved, and that is super invaluable ☺️x

Adobe MAX 2024 was a wild ride! 🎢 This time around, I spent a ton of time with the community. While I didn’t have any talks or sessions this year, I was able to film some fun social content, stream with Adobe live, and fill up my schedule with laughs, hugs, and much needed late night yap sessions. 🤠

This year especially felt like a family reunion and in the 5 years I’ve gone to MAX, I felt the most at home this year. 🥰 Congrats to all the teams who make this special event happen every year! Miami was a new experience for all of us, but it was perfect in its own way.

Same time next year? 😂👀

✨BEYOND EXCITED to announce that I’m speaking at this year!!!!!! 😱

It’s always been a dream of mine to go to VidCon but never could afford the trip and was lowkey scared to go alone 😅

I’m honored to attend my first VidCon as a speaker and my session will cover how to responsibly use generative AI in your workflow to help you work smarter, not harder. I’m also going to touch on how Adobe is doing their part in protecting creators and preventing misinformation cause by gen ai with Adobe Firefly and the Content Authenticity Initiative.

It’s a little different from my usual talks, but I think this is an important topic for creators to discuss in this new world of AI. I can’t wait hear what y’all have to say ☺️

VidCon Anaheim is on June 26-29, 2024. Grab your tickets using the link in my bio.

Pro tip: A good set of brand photos or headshots can go a long way 📸

I personally try to take new headshots or brand photos every 1-2 years just to keep things fresh, use as demo assets, and cuz ya girl’s been aging backwards 🤪

Having a solid set of photos can be used for social content, flyers, event pages, banners, etc. They’re an investment, but you can also DIY them!

Just remember to grab a variety of photos- up close, far away, action shots, and throw in something fun or silly 🤭 The purpose of brand photos is to show off your personality, so don’t be shy! ✨

📽️ Throwback to my first-ever keynote speaking gig for Etsy!

Although it was prerecorded, it was such a cool experience prepping content and partnering with Etsy to teach sellers how to use Adobe Express in their marketing. 🙌🏼

I also got to explore Brooklyn and more of Manhattan with and had my first slice of NY-style pizza! 🍕

Also humidity and summers in NYC are something else 🥵 My California body is too fragile ahha

✨ Embrace the journey. Your design style will always evolve as you grow. Even when you think you’ve found your signature style, it will change as you do.

Don’t stress over finding your unique style to “set yourself apart from the competition” because the secret sauce is YOU. You are what makes your work unique, and best believe if you’re not growing and changing along with your art, thennnn ya might want to work on that 😅

I’m sharing my design evolution through my YT thumbnails to show how many “styles” and “eras” I’ve gone through and tbh, I’m still trying to find my style. And that’s ok! Tbh I’m still struggling to stay loyal to my brand colors haha (sorry .creative!) 😅

But I know that I’m still learning and developing my style and just enjoying the journey… all while still refusing to open photoshop hehehheh 😏

TLDR don’t stress over finding your unique style or niche. It will come naturally and evolve with you and your art 🎨

✨friendly reminder to take out the trash to make room for more things to enter your life!

New blessings, experiences, people, and habits need space in order to flourish. The new year is a great time to let go of things that no longer serve you 👋🏼

🔗 Detach.
🫧 Declutter.
✌🏼 Delete.

For me, I’m learning to let go of people and grudges without seeking closure (a Scorpio thing lol). I’m also trying to not be an art hoarder and rehome a few pieces I sadly don’t have room for. 😭

🤔 What are you decluttering this month?

Been playing a ton more with and practicing my prompt writing skills! Generated a bunch of illustrations to use as stream thumbnails and it’s def not perfect, but it’s still super cute!

Just pls don’t say anything if you notice my art has 8 fingers on one hand LOL

What do you think about AI art? Yay or nay 🤔

Grateful it’s still warm in California 🌞

Spending this week kicking off some end-of-the-year projects as well as planning for 2024!

I’m also putting a holiday gift guide for your creative friends! (Or yourself hehe)

Have you entered the “new year new me” phase of the holidays yet? 🤭✨

Finally got to see the lights for my birthday this year 😍✨

Can’t think of a better way to start 29 than at Disneyland with a few close friends, celebrating ’s first visit and & ‘s graduations, and embracing our inner children 🥰🌸

Fun fact: I sewed the flowers on my cardigan. First time DIY-ing my Disneybound! Not bad lol😅🌸💐🌺🌼

Happy✌🏼years of being an evangelist!!

It’s been a crazy year full of events, livestreams, travel, and major milestones for myself and Adobe Express.

We’ve done some cool stuff like make new courses, partner with big brands like Etsy and Twitch, talk to students at universities all over the US, and ended the year with doing the MAX keynote! 🤗

Yes, we did some really cool stuff this year; However, the MOST rewarding part of it all was connecting with more creative humans in the community! 👯‍♀️

My heart gets so full from hearing everyone’s stories, successes, and struggles, and it reminds me of why I’m here in the first place- to uplift and advocate for the creative community⚡️

I’ll say it again: I would not be in this position without your support, and if I can inspire and motivate more creative folks to pursue a creative career, then I’m doing my job right ☺️💕

Cheers to another year of creativity and peace signs! 🍻

📸 Twitch Con photo dump!

Did a lil meetup with some friends from .rp at ! It was such a fun and chaotic weekend in the desert, but 10/10 I’d do it again✨

Highlights of are seeing a few of my favorite streamers, attending an art stream panel, meeting new AAPI streamers and GTA RP friends, impulsively buying a new stream deck, and also buying SO. MUCH. ART.

Although I mostly stream on YT now, I love the Twitch community and how fun and vibrant the space is. I was soooo tempted to come back, especially with all the latest updates 👀 Tempting…

She’s a keynote speaker or whatevaaa 💁🏻‍♀️✨

If you told me 7 years ago I’d be speaking at Adobe MAX, the world’s largest creativity conference, in front of 10k+ people in-person and virtually, I’d call bs 🥴

Ya gurl had to take some time to reflect and I’m still in disbelief this moment actually happened. 🫠

7 years ago, I walked past the Adobe offices on my way to my first job interview in SJ and I stopped to look up at the building and say, “one day I’ll work for you… or a company just like you cuz I’m not a designer lol 😂” Then I went about my day…

Fast forward to now - I’m literally in my dream job era speaking at Adobe events, uplifting the community, and inspiring students and creatives all over the world to pursue a creative career and harness their creativity with Adobe Express. 🥰

Of course, this all wouldn’t be possible without your support. Yeah, I worked extremely hard to get here, but community really carried me through the toughest and loneliest times when I felt like giving up. Y’all are my motivation to keep going and challenge myself creatively.

With that said, this W is ours and I’m eternally grateful to you, the Adobe MAX, Adobe Express, and Adobe Community teams for believing in me and making this opportunity possible.✨✨

TL;DR - be sooo delulu that other people will believe in you and eventually with hard work and grit, your delulu will come trululu 💀

[see my LinkedIn for a sappier version of this post haha]

[also hi this song has been stuck in my head all week and now it will be stuck in yours. 😈]
