Hi, I'm Clare

I love making things like illustrations, paintings, digital products, stickers and stationery. I love doing things that allows me to practice the things I am passionate about like drawing, design and journaling.

I also work full-time as a Front-end WordPress Developer (another thing I am passionate about) and run my small sticker shop Hues and Prints as a side hustle.

I’ve always loved drawing growing up. I remember spending so much of my time browsing through Deviantart, watching Youtube videos of drawing speed paints and tutorials because I really wanted to learn and improve on my drawing skills.

Because I took up Engineering in college, I never really got the chance to practice my drawing and design skills at all but now that I am already finished with school,  I wanted to take this opportunity to learn and improve as much as I can.

One thing that really helped me to rediscover my love of drawing and art was people who took the courage and time to share their artworks and knowledge online. I will always be grateful to these people because I learned a lot through them. I would have never realized that it is completely normal to pour your time and focus on something creative, no matter how different it is from your peers and family, as long as it is something that gives you joy and fulfillment. I never considered drawing again or pursued a different career path until I saw other people do it.

So here I am, trying to do the same thing. I do not have everything figured out and I definitely still have so much to learn and improve on but one thing is clear to me: to continue doing the things that I love and share them to people no matter how small the audience is. 

Wether I’m creating illustrations or designing or building a website, I try my best and intend to do them as long as I am able while also not losing sight of God along the way.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

– Howard Thurman

Sharing a quote that I love to remember whenever I doubt the importance of the things that I do. I hope that it also encourages you today.

It may have been obvious to you by now that I really struggle to express myself in words, especially if I am talking about myself so I will try to describe myself more in bullet form (lol)

Thank you for taking the time to read! I tried to make it as short as possible. I know reading is not everybody’s cup of tea/coffee.

But if you read the entire thing, I appreciate you and wish you all the best in whatever career path you are trying to pursue right now.
