Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Hello! My name is Sabrina Laramee. This is the part where I tell you a bit about myself and my work. I’m not particularly good at this, but I’ll try my best.
First, I love to create a background, or a story, with each project. I think that when you give your projects a persona, they seem to come to life easier. What qualities does it have? What does it look like? Where in the world could it fit in? I ask myself a lot of questions when I start a project. I try to narrow down and nail the project’s persona, but sometimes I end up going a different way than I originally planned. That’s life, I guess.
I think each project I’ve done so far has also involved some sort of challenge for me. Whether it was using a different color palette or a new program, I work to involve a few hurdles for myself along the way. It makes it worth it in the end, in my opinion.
Second, I prefer to really step outside of the box, making me more independent and different. I like seeing things from an outsider’s standpoint, I always have. I enjoy being outside the box.
I don’t give up easily, either. I like to explore different options on whatever I’m working on. I’ll change different things along the way, just to try it out, and either hit ‘undo’ or go with it. I have a pretty good ratio of going with it over hitting ‘undo’.
I might fall down a few times, but that doesn’t mean I stay down. I get back up, dust myself off, and keep going. Once I really put my mind to something, I do everything I can to get it done the right way. It might take a bit longer sometimes, but I think that’s understandable.
Third, this is where I tell you about what I’m passionate about – career wise. I have experience from all ends of the spectrum, and I haven’t found an area that’s disappointed me. I believe my work shows that.
In the end, I’m not sure where God will take me. But for now, I’ll enjoy making the things that I love.
