Update from Ruta world! With [malü] we're doing a weekly challenge where we connect on Zoom to showcase what we have done in the past week to move our projects/dreams forward.
So for Saturday March 19th our collective challenge is:
To create 3 intro videos about our lessons (pursuing our dreams to have online creativity schools!)
Stay tuned.. :)
Hello World! I'm kicking off my personal brand project here. I love lifelogging, so I'm going to ue this space to share about my progress towards my desired life path.
I had a problem lately, where I was feeling information overload and energy drain. So I realised that I a need to use my energy wisely, and focus on those activities that don't consume much energy: like working from home instead of f2f and doing things I'm good at.
So far, I'd like to realise myself through 4 buckets:
Working as a professional web designer (creative WordPress), even moving into UI/UX, working with a manager, so that I could focus on creative expression rather than client briefs
Working as a web tutor, sharing with people through screen-share calls how to start a website with WordPress
Working as a creative business coach, guiding people on how to create a purposeful business based on their story ("brainchildren")
Creating shared visions together with people who are different to me: 2kokono and o2oo with Malu and Mindey :D
Lifelogs coming as they come :)
Wow, what a friendly self-intro video!
