We’ve Launched, Officially, into Pink Space

I’m late to write this post but, as some of you may be aware, I had this blog many, many moons ago and it was solely personal at the time but it developed out of thin air. I loved to blog and it was a fun hobby for me. But then I had a baby and, well, mommy-hood took over my life/brain/energy and the blog ended. Now that I’m well out of the baby-toddler phase and can think straight again, I’ve relaunched under the same name but with a slightly different concept.

My endless obsession with treasure hunting, textiles, color, patterns and shapes has taken me down many explored paths in life. I’ve been a photographer, makeup art, Cosmetologist, and Staging Extraordinaire. From time to time, I’ll re-post images from those dream chases as a walk for myself down memory lane here. For those closest to me you’ve seen me try out all of these avenues. My creative curse consistently plagues my brain from just having or wanting a normal job like the rest of the world. No, I insist on consistently needing change, needing color, and needing design. So, here I go.

People have long judged me for what I was doing professionally, a few particularly whom I won’t mention, with constantly questioning why I was changing roles or companies in my 20’s. Well, I guess for those of us that don’t see ourselves clearly from birth, or have a defined career path at 18, it takes us a little more time than others to realize our talents. Plus, I didn’t come from an environment that promoted artistic careers so it just took me a little longer to figure out who I was in life. Never give up, I haven’t. I thrived in my management career for two decades, (still do), have made it to the top as COO, and I don’t regret it at all as it has given me building blocks no creative career could have initially. It’s just time for a shift, officially, into a hands on creative role.

The place I’ve been the happiest is working in the San Francisco/Bay Area interior design field. When I first arrived into it a decade ago (I’m THAT old now), it was a world that I instantly loved and felt right at home in. The only work world that ever made me feel that feeling. It is HARD work though. Designers work harder than most I know. It’s sweat, blood, and tears to bring together a vision and equally terrifying to expose your “talent” publicly. So I commend anyone artistic, creative, or otherwise who puts it out the for the world to judge.

I’ve relaunched the Pink Winnebago unofficially last year at the start of 2016 and its taken me some time to figure out what I want to really do with it. I’m not a stiff, staunch creative type who wants to pick out grey granite counter tops and beige walls daily and just blog about this facets. There is so much more involved in the process and I am passionate about the business side of business itself so I love helping other creatives find their path as well. The Pink Winnebago is eclectic, eccentric, fun, and spirited. We like color, pop, pow, pizzazz, and drama. I’m happy to announce that this place is my own little design studio where I’m logging the home renovations of my own “Casa de Rosa” cottage house that is old and broken. I’ve become CAD certified this year and am excited to launch this service, as well as showcase some of my work, from time to time with drafting. The world is my design oyster now!

Welcome to my world – the pink one that is!
