Create more than you consume

“Create more than you consume” structures the way I navigate my relationship with social media and my creativity. Like many people my age, I love taking time to scroll on social media, but these hours often leave me feeling unfulfilled and bored. The past year, I turned my focus to creating more than I consume to ensure a healthy relationship protecting and growing my own creativity. Intentionally consuming involves saving fashion, reading, and design inspiration and then using it as direct inspiration and drive to create my own content. The largest representation of this can be seen on my Tik Tok and on my Pinterest.

I create content, from social media to my outfits to design, as a direct outlet of fostering my own creativity. This intention and protection of my creativity allows me to be more myself at work and outside of work. It protects my creativity, provides a meaningful hobby, and a unique close knit community.
