Lately I’ve been juggling two worlds: growing my design studio and leading operations + marketing for a local wellness business called Tevah, a new contrast therapy space in Vancouver centred around sauna, cold plunge, and community.
It’s been such a journey learning to wear both hats. I’ll be honest, there are times I feel behind on design, but every time I hop on here and see the incredible work, creativity, and wins being shared, I’m reminded why I fell in love with this industry in the first place.
It’s such a good reminder that we’re all on our own paths, learning and growing in different ways and that even when things feel slow, we’re still exactly where we’re meant to be.
@Danilen Villanueva This really resonates!
What’s been the biggest learning so far from juggling both worlds?
@Ramanda Prabu Thank you so much! I think the biggest thing that I've learned through this is how to lean on to people. Like truly trust them and not feel like I need to take everything on myself and letting go of this sense of control!
@Danilen Villanueva I relate with you badly. Currently building a studio and honestly its easier said than done. But definitely not impossible. Keep going ✨
@Stephenie Amadhe Thank you for the encouragement! It's good to hear that I'm not alone. It feels like we're climbing multiple mountains haha and we'll eventually get to the top!
@Danilen Villanueva It was nice reading your story, wearing more than one hat is what we all do as independent creatives 💯💯💯
@Nikas Geisleris thank you for reading through! It feels like I'm a hat shop at this point!
@Danilen Villanueva Same here! Try not to put too many at the same time 😊
@Danilen Villanueva indeed, when others share their work, it inspires me to keep creating 🙌
@Oleksii K. Right!!! I just want to keep going and keep learning
@Danilen Villanueva thanks for sharing!
@Benjamin C thank you for reading!
