What does a typical day look like for you, and how do you structure your time as a content creator?
Given the unpredictable nature of creative work, how do you maintain a sense of routine? What tips have you discovered for staying productive and balanced?
Personally, I would say I prefer the unpredictable nature of creative work versus something repetitive. I’ve moved a lot in my life so I have an ability to adapt but God keeps me grounded. I noticed that when I take intentional time to give Him my mind in the morning, everything flows much easier. I’m able to move with the trust and knowing He is with me, rather than me struggling through the day on my own. It makes life fun!
Walk me through how you first got started in creating online content. What initially sparked your interest?
Tell me about your creative process. How do you typically generate and develop ideas for your content?
Other than fashion or general lifestyle content, I like creating content with value or about something I would find personally interesting. As I mentioned before, I prefer spontaneous content over planned content. So my latest drawing/bible content, I will just naturally do and film, it was very similar when I was going to the gym and creating organic content that reflected my everyday life!
Creating content online inevitably means facing criticism. How do you handle negative comments or challenging feedback while staying true to your message?
The first few instances where I received some harsh negative comments, I became withdrawn and anxious. However by growing in understanding through scripture that it is not me that they hate but Jesus in me, brought me a lot of comfort and strength. Through lots of painful trials, I genuinely believe God built within me an ability to withstand the effects of peoples opinions and most importantly trust what He says about me. I learnt the beauty in thanking God for struggles as they truly produce wonderful fruit if you stick it through.
We noticed you've been vlogging more and sharing about your travels. Where are you dreaming of exploring next, and what draws you to that destination?
Yes I have! I picked back up vlogging when I first got to Asia about 6 months ago and have tried be consistent with it since. I would love to explore the Philippines or Okinawa in Japan but I think I might hold out on Asia this time around and go somewhere in Europe. However the plan keeps changing but I’m praying wherever it is, whenever it is, that God has placed me there.
If you could speak directly to other young Christian girls who want to start creating content, what advice would you share from your own journey?
For someone who hasn't yet encountered Jesus, what would you want them to know about your faith?
I would want them to know that have searched for fulfilment in the darkest parts of life. Through validation, money, alcohol, relationships, new age practices and I only found a temporary escape. It wasn’t until I began to believe in Jesus that peace, comfort, strength, confidence, genuine joy, sincere forgiveness and a motivation for life became a lasting reality for me. It didn’t happen over night and I still have my weaknesses but I know with Him, I am truly safe and deeply loved.
