Webpage Designer– Grace Bennett

People regard you as a creative person. Do you agree? Please explain your answer.

  I would agree that I am a creative person.  Ever since I was little I was always trying to create something.  

  I went the extra mile for school projects because I enjoyed the creative process so much.  I am not only a web 

  designer but, also a graphic designer in the digital scrapbooking industry.  I create kits starting with either 

  a color or theme in mind and as I work with Photoshop I see this vision that I had turn into what I consider to 

  be mini works of art.  Being creative has always been an outlet for me.  Whenever I am feeling less than happy, 

  I always do something creative.  Whether it be writing poetry, creating graphics, or coding a website, creating 

  things has always been therapeutic for me.

  Have you ever doubted your talent? If so, how did you work through your doubt?

  I have doubted my talent at times.  Sometimes creating websites can be challenging and 

  frustrating and it is during those times that I have doubted myself.  Whenever something 

  I am trying to create becomes frustrating for me, I take a step back. Looking at things 

  with a fresh pair of eyes always helps bring back the flow of creative energy.  When I 

  am working on a scrapbook kit especially, I am on my own deadlines, so sometimes I will 

  leave a kit alone for a month or longer.  There are times when I open it again and decide 

  that it just isn't working, and others in which starting the process again with something 

  that I was previously frustrated with turns out to be one of my favorite collections.  When 

  that happens I no longer doubt my talent or creativity.

  If you and I were to trade places, tell me one thing about yourself that I should know. 

  If you an I were to trade places, I would tell you to bring your hat collection, because 

  I wear many.  I am a newly single mother of a three year old as well as a full time student.  

  I also have my own graphic design and web design business in which I am the only employee.  

  My life can get very hectic, very quickly.

  If you could choose a theme song for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

  The theme song for my life would be Just Fine from Mary J. Blige.  It is a song that 

  makes me feel energized and grateful to be living my dream everyday
