The podcast that dives into diverse, unconventional career stories from entrepreneurs and professionals who are doing work that makes them happy.
Marissa Valdez is a Latina children’s book author and illustrator who loves to create funny, ridiculous, and spunky characters for meaningful stories. She originally received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Animation, but life swept her away from animation and into the world of children’s illustration in the midst of 2020 and the pandemic.
I loved this conversation. Andrea is so open about her journey and the doubts that came with it. She shares how she got back into art and how that led to a life-changing opportunity. Her story shows what is possible for us when we are willing to step outside of our comfort zone and pursue the things that bring us joy.
