I’ve been on my own wellness journey, trying to figure out how to best serve my body given the conditions I have. It’s been a struggle but I know that community makes all the difference. Even an online community can mean so much to someone on their journey who might be feeling lonely. To make people feel included, encouraged, and supported might be the greatest reward.

I’m currently the social media director for Armour Magazine where I work alongside a team to post snippets of our editorial shoots and design story templates highlighting our staff. I’ve also been running my personal social media accounts for a few years, where I post content related to art and design. I’m a current design student with skills in Adobe Photosho, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, but I mostly use Procreate and CapCut for my own social media content.

I once read the advice to create a list of “burning” tasks when building your to-do list. Ever since, I’ve kept that in mind when structuring my tasks. Whatever needs to be completed the quickest is what I’m tackling first. Of course, life gets pretty busy. Just recently, I’ve been juggling my final exams, semester-long projects, and creative directing for an editorial club all while going to my 3-hour-long studio classes. This felt pretty overwhelming in the moment, but by taking things one moment at a time, and finding brief gaps in my schedule to lighten my workload a little, I got through it.
