Through Child's Eyes

Right now I'm currently employed at a daycare. This is my part time job while I'm in school. I've always loved kids. Even when I was younger I used to take care of all the little ones at family functions. As I grew up this has never changed. I still keep and eye on the kids and play with them when I can.

I think the biggest reason I still love kids is that I'm actually a kid myself. I love running around for no reason, getting dirty, and I love trying new things. These attributes are what make me feel like a kid at heart. These feelings are what make me feel like I would be great at design. As a kid you're not afraid to be creative or do your own thing and be crazy, you just do it. As many kids and teens grow up they hold onto that fear and lose a lot of their creative side.

That is somewhat where my problems lie. I am drawn to bright colors and love to take chances. Sometimes this hinders me because I'm always looking for ways to interject bright colors when the client doesn't exactly feel like it is necessary. So my problem lies in the fact that I have no fear when it comes to putting colors, patterns, and shapes together. 

I've not lost this fear of creativity, no matter how many times someone has told me, "You can't put those colors together," or "Why did you take this out." I just look at those people and realize they are just afraid to take chances. They need to look at a project, whatever it may be, through a child's eyes.
