My Journey With Creativity: How It All Started

I have always had creativity as a part of my life.

As a kid, I was fascinated by how everything works. And it's not like I was just observing the world around me. No, I wanted to re-create the world. Through my imagination, I created little worlds, cute paper toys, and origami figures. So, making things by hand was almost like my second language.

I think that it was around age 13 that my interest in arts became something more serious too. I wanted to try my hand at traditional artwork like portrait painting, soft landscapes, aquarelle, and pencil sketches. I loved the fact that each one of these art types has a different personality and that they require so much patience and care to be accomplished by a person.

As I progressed into my teenage years, my creative skills began to change. This time, they transitioned into the online world. I fell in love with video editing, thumbnail creation, and graphic design. It introduced me to a whole new world, and I realized that I didn’t have to be restricted to only one option; I could merge them all.

Later on, I decided to take up a degree in multimedia. This taught me how to transform ideas into visuals and convert emotions into experiences. It was a part of the process which made me who I am today. Today, I continue to learn, experiment, and improve every day.

For me today, whether in computer graphics or other artwork, my passion and objective are still the same:

to build small objects which hold meaning, significance, and emotion, things with a human feel.

This blog will be the space where I share that journey, the process that I use to create, and the small moments of inspiration that go within my creations. This blog will be for people that have ever loved making something purely because they enjoyed it.

✨ Tips on Keeping Your Creativity Alive (Beginner-Friendly)

These are a few things I've learned along the way:

• Start small – Big ideas grow from tiny experiments.

• Create with joy as the first goal - Because you will improve as you enjoy the task.

• Allow your interests to evolve – Creativity doesn’t have to remain in one box.

• Use your hands – A handmade item has passion that one cannot emulate. – Be patient with yourself – Progress is slow. This is okay.
