I wanted to have a platform where people could send in their work and we would feature it on our growing page that was getting amazing engagement. This was also a big motivational push for the start of Fruits. There are always people who don’t see the value in your work and it can be very unsettling/difficult to those just starting. Being a designer for 6+ years, I have learned a lot of new things, new programs and new ways to go about the business side of my work. It’s like putting on a pair of glasses that help you see aspects of life that other people may not see.ģ03: What have you found to be the biggest challenge of working in the design/arts industry?ĪW: The biggest challenge is being fairly compensated for your work. You will always find things in the world that you think could look better and you will always find things in the world that will inspire you even more. My favorite thing to say is ‘once you start, you can’t stop.’ And by that, I mean once you start pushing yourself into design work, you will never be able to stop. In the end, it somehow turns out just the way you needed it to be.

Sometimes it can be one revision, sometimes it can be 100.

My favorite part of the design process would be the variations of something before the final result. Something new is made every day and it is amazing to see other artists take on the world and what design means to them. AW: My favorite aspect of the design is the diversity and never-ending inspiration from everyone and everything.
