Not all types of work exist as typical jobs. And it sounds really obvious, but it can be hard to internalize: Just because you can't find a job listing for something doesn't mean it's not valid and valuable work. Creating your own job description lets you take even greater control in building the life you want. Write it out, see what it looks like and go from there. If nothing else, you can visualize where you want to go.
All of Elise's projects in university were inspired by books. Taking a look at that theme led her to figuring out how to make book design her work. Without taking a deeper dive into her influences, she would never have known to take the next step. What are your influences? What themes run through the things you enjoy?
Elise shows up in Facebook groups adjacent to her work, groups for authors and creators, and helps. She's known for being there and lending a hand or giving advice when her expertise can help. This is not a call for more long form posts offering inspiration or unsolicited advice. We have enough of those. But being truly helpful can get you noticed.
