The idea here is to smoothen rough edges, to polish us artists in a way that we can show up as our whole selves.

The creative path isn’t always about talent or output—it’s often about how we see ourselves. As someone who works across illustration, art, and design, I’ve learned that self-esteem quietly shapes everything: the way we approach projects, handle feedback, and keep going even when things feel uncertain.

It’s easy to get caught up in small flaws or overthink traits that, in the long run, don’t define us. This video is about softening those sharp edges. It’s about showing up as our full selves—without needing to be perfect.

Strengthening Self-Worth in a Competitive Industry

In this episode, I talk about self-esteem from a creative perspective: how your opinion of yourself influences your work, your decisions, and your ability to grow in the art world. I’ve been on a self-development journey for nearly a decade, and the mindset shifts I share here have helped me carve out a sustainable career in illustration.

I also walk you through four simple exercises that can help you move from self-doubt into a more open, growth-oriented mindset. These are small but powerful habits that can help you feel more grounded in who you are, not just what you make.
