let me introduce myself again…
if you’ve been here a while: hi, it’s been a hot minute 💗 if you’re new here: hi, welcome!!
i’m becca, and for the longest time, i felt like two different people. corporate becca who works in marketing, and studio becs becca who just wants to make things with her hands.
i spent the last few years trying to figure out how to be both but i just couldn’t. the creative spark faded, i stopped posting, and the more i tried to force it, the worse it got.
i tried rebranding. i tried starting over. nothing felt right because i kept thinking i had to choose between being 100% creative or 100% corporate.
then it hit me. i don’t have to choose and i never did. the marketer and the maker have always been the same person!! i just forgot that for a little while.
so this is studio becs now. slower, more honest, and a lot more me ⊹ ࣪ ˖
i’ll be sharing about trying to regain my creative spark, the realities of working in big tech and marketing, and slowing down and being intentional in life.
come along if that sounds like a little bit of you! ⊹ ࣪ ˖
For anyone who's ever felt torn between two contrasting worlds, whether professional or creative, this journey might resonate deeply. I too have struggled with balancing a corporate career while nurturing personal creative pursuits. Like Becca, the tension between fulfilling job responsibilities and wanting to make something tangible can be draining. The pressure to 'choose one' often silences the creative spark. What truly helped me regain my creative energy was accepting that these identities can coexist and complement each other. Instead of compartmentalizing work and creativity, seeing both as expressions of the same self allowed for more flow and less internal conflict. Becca’s approach of slowing down and being intentional aligns with this mindset. In today’s fast-paced world, giving ourselves permission to slow down can be revolutionary. Whether it’s taking time to work on a crochet project, plan a marketing campaign, or reflect on life, intentionality breeds fulfillment. Moreover, Becca’s experience as a product marketer at Google Pay showcases the value of having diverse skill sets. Creativity isn’t limited to art alone — it influences problem-solving, marketing strategies, and innovation in tech industries. Recognizing this interconnectedness opens up new ways to engage both professional and personal passions. Connecting with a community, as she did through Studio Becs, fosters learning and opportunities. Running booths, teaching workshops, and making friends all contributed to growth beyond just creating crafts. It’s a reminder that building relationships around our passions is as important as the creations themselves. If you find yourself stuck or feeling like you need to pick between career success and creative joy, remember Becca’s story. You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. Embrace your full identity, take time to intentionally create, and find balance in the beautiful overlap of your many selves.
