Hello lovely humans.
First, thank you for taking the time to stop by and read this. This is the first blog I put together for my design business and I really just wanted to introduce myself and let you know a bit about myself and what i hope to bring to this blog.
Straight up, I want you to know who i am, and what I am passionate about so you can know if this is your jam or not. So here it goes. My name is Chastity, I am the daughter of Mexican immigrants, and am first generation Mexican-American Latina. I was born in LA, was in raised in Chula Vista (south San Diego) and then moved back to LA about 6 years ago. I am very proud of my ancestry and my upbringing in the U.S. I come from two different worlds, one rooted in where i came from and the other in where i was raised. They are both equally important to me.
I am passionate about equality, empowering & supporting women, mental health, design, art education, sushi, rescue dogs, vulnerability, self-improvement and matcha latte’s. There is much more, but that list could go on forever, so I will share more about that in future blog posts.
My goal for this blog is to share some insight on how to move forward as a freelancer designer. I am still learning myself all the time but I know that I wish i had more resources when I was getting started that could have helped move me forward. I also want to bring awareness and transparency about mental health as a creative and human. I want to support and share other women in business and women who are out there trying to make shit happen. I will share about design and art related topics, and share as many resources that i can that i have found helpful as well. Please let me know if there are any topics that will help you or you are interested in learning about. I will do my best to share this and more and hopefully help some of you and give some of you some insight. I am not a writer, if you haven’t already noticed, but I am trying to be vulnerable and sharing our stories, is important to me (no easy task for some). So, please bear with me as I start this journey and please feel free to share and subscribe!
Cheers!
Chastity
