So for this being a blog, I feel that I have certainly fallen off the course of content creation with my blog and my life. This blog is meant to share design stuff, film stuff, and whatever else I feel like talking about.

so today… let’s talk about PetSmart.

I have a contract as a 3D + Packaging Production artist with PetSmart. While I cannot go into detail about my work (due to legal obligations), but I can say that PetSmart is a great company to work for. Not only am I on a great team in production, but I am also learning what it is like to work for a larger company, and to be responsible in a role on a major production that has a strong impact in the marketplace.

I have been experiencing a shift in how I perceive working for larger companies. Being an artist, I was surrounded by other artists in the Seattle community and there is a grudge in Seattle amongst artists towards the tech and Amazon culture that has taken over the city. Being influenced by negative mindsets towards corporate culture has its own damaging setbacks. I bought into the idea that corporations are evil and greedy and la dee da. And that mindset kept me from reaching for those higher-level jobs. 

As I have been with PetSmart I realize that nothing could be further from the truth within this company. As it is I am surrounded by supportive, high-performing, inspiring, and lovely people who know that my success is their success is the company’s success and so forth and that feeling is incredible!!! I actually look forward to going to work, interacting with teammates and meeting my deadlines.

So that is an update of how I have been doing. I have been super busy and super satisfied at the end of each day feeling like I have put in a great effort and that kind of zaps the inspiration to create on my personal blog. So here I am posting for the first time in months. More to come!
