Hello my beautiful souls๐ฆ May I find you & your loved ones well ๐
For a while, I stepped away from creating...
As many of you know, I'm a graphic designer & a small business owner. Over the last few years, the design world has changed dramatically with the rise of AI. If I'm being completely transparent, there were moments when I felt discouraged & it became difficult watching people generate images in seconds while I continued investing hours, days & sometimes weeks into my artwork.
I've seen pages built entirely on AI-generated content claim titles such as "graphic designer" or "artist" & I've watched people argue over who created what when so much of it comes from the same tools & prompts. At times, it made me question whether there was still a place for people like me.
But after taking a much needed break, I've realized something important: My competition has never been anyone else, it's simply the person I was yesterday.
I create because I genuinely love it. Every memorial portrait, logo & design I make is created with care, dedication, emotion & purpose. No matter how technology evolves, there will always be value in art created by human hands & a human heart๐ค
To those who have continued supporting my small business, sharing my work, recommending me & believing in what I do... Thank You! Your support means more than words can express. This small business has always been one of the ways I try to contribute & help my husband & our family & every order, share, kind comment matters๐ฉท
At the same time, life recently reminded me how precious & fragile it truly isโค๏ธโ๐ฉน
A few days ago, I became extremely ill & was hospitalized after not being admitted to a hospital in over three years. I found myself in an ambulance facing one of the scariest experiences of my life. What started as a UTI progressed to my bladder, kidney & bloodstream. I was diagnosed with hydronephrosis with sepsis & for someone who has dealt with kidney issues since birth, this experience was unlike anything I've ever faced before๐ฅบ
I'm thankfully now home recovering & taking things one day at a time. If you are someone who prays, I would deeply appreciate your prayers for healing, strength & a full recovery. If prayer isn't your thing, positive thoughts are equally appreciated but I'm a firm believer of the Power Of Prayer & I'll appreciate every single one๐๐ผ
This experience has reminded me not to give up on life, on healing, on faith, or on the passion that has always brought me joy.
So, I'm coming back! Not to compete with AI, not to compete with anyone else...
I'm coming back to create๐จ
With love, gratitude & hope๐บ
I've missed you all....
