life as a 25 y/o graphic designer in LA | balancing a 9-5 & content creation, new work setup 🤪🤠

[@emmarussellstudio]

So cool that you work for hyper now! I completely get what you mean though your 9-5 not feeling like a typical 9-5 and getting to only take on freelance projects you want to do. I feel like that too! I work full time and love that I have that pay check and insurance but it’s a random schedule every week and then i fit my freelance projects and art business into that but it’s always changing and sometimes I’ll say yes to a project and then I’m tired because of my full time job as well. So you are not alone in that!

[@edgykatrina]

I've been working with them for 4 years!!! and yes it gets crazy sometimes and chill other times so I am still trying to learn how to balance it all hehe

[@emmarussellstudio]

@@edgykatrina i never realized you were with them full time, always just thought you were freelance- that’s amazing though! You are creating beautiful work! Yess, the balance is sometimes the hardest part.

“it seemed like a really fun side quest” me justifying all of my actions

[@cristinalikesburritos]

it's so comforting to see you excited about your own work and scrapbooking your pieces! i see people start to seem blasé and the sick things they get to do and it's kind of a bummer. you're awesome also, mag bay rules!

[@edgykatrina]

totally agree - sometimes I forget to celebrate these milestones so starting the scrapbook has really helped me document and process the projects I've made!!!

[@biancacake]

[@LuisErikJM]

I love this kind of videos, I hope you enjoy the Magdalena Bay concert I love them too ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@victoriaromulo]

LOL we were freaking out fr about Olivia 😭

[@AlbertoSantos-hx3tr]

How’s the color accuracy and resolution of the monitor? I’ve never owned a monitor either but have been looking around. People suggested me with the Asus ProArt display and the Apple Display studio. Those seem great but the 60 hertz and pricing is a bit daunting on me.

[@edgykatrina]

Overall it's a really great monitor for general productivity and office use but if you're looking for color accuracy/super high res for art specifically, the monitors you mentioned might make more sense!!!

[@Alexaphantom]

I was wondering where your desk is from & the tripod ?

[@edgykatrina]

desk is from ikea! tripod is from amazon (brand is neewer)

[@harrypottah8889]

Wish I could be this rich and creative
