The other week I took a big step and left my job. After four and a half years living and breathing fine jewelry, it was time to make a change.
Beyond the need to expand my horizons, my decision to move on was motivated by my desire for more flexibility to explore various side projects… and devote more time to my artistic endeavors.
Thus far, finding a balance in this period of transition is proving challenging. However, the newfound freedom in the control of my schedule/the ability to work when and where I want… is heavenly.
Last week my “office” was an outdoor cafe in sunny Notting Hill (the beginning of a busy week in London). Yesterday I was camped out in Soho (back in NYC), street side, glass of wine in hand. Today I am working a few thousand feet above ground… on my flight to San Francisco.
Despite the increase in time spent working, the ability to have control over my own choices is irreplaceable. Best decision I have ever made.
