This year marked a significant turn in my path. I bid farewell to a job that provided comfort and a city that was nothing short of spectacular, to embrace life in the South again.
It's been a year of immense creativity and growth: I've crafted over 600 portraits and 200 unique designs, ventured into a new entrepreneurial journey with the launch of another company, and authored 3 ebooks. My role expanded to mentoring, where I had the privilege of coaching friends and executives alike.
A milestone moment for me was registering a brand for the very first time. The love and support I received this year were unparalleled, with fans and followers growing more than ever. It's been an honor to connect with such incredible personalities, including WWE World Champion Rhea Ripley, celebrated guitarist Kiki Wongo, the exceptionally talented violinist Tina Guo, and the iconic Marilyn Manson, among many other gifted and extraordinary individuals.
Remarkably, all this was achieved without the usual flurry of selfies - in fact, my only selfie this year made its debut right on LinkedIn.
What did this journey entail? It was built on countless hours of preparation, brainstorming, sketching, listening, dreaming, stumbling, and, most importantly, learning from each experience.
I'm profoundly grateful for this year 🖤. A heartfelt thank you to 2023.
Here's to a splendid 2024, filled with even more achievements and joy ⚡️🍾.
