I quit my tech job 1 year ago to become an artist. And the top 3 things that have helped me build up my career are (1) sharing my art online to reach new people and opportunities, (2) trying different avenues whether it's new formats or experiences to find my niche, and (3) investing in the right systems to help me navigate my life as an artist, small business owner, and creator. I'm partnering with Microsoft Surface powered by Snapdragon to show you how my Surface Pro has been a huge part of my non-linear career journey, whether it's being the device that I first used to create my small business logo or the digital canvas where I organize all my thoughts. My favorite part is the versatility and flexibility of the whole Surface Pro, so I can use it as a digital canvas with the Surface Slim Pen or as a fully functioning laptop for researching and meetings. Despite it being so slim and portable, it has incredible battery life because of the Snapdragon chip and a vivid OLED display to support whatever workstream I have going on at the moment. So whether you're an artist, student, or small business owner, check out the Surface Pro via the link in my bio :)
