Heritage Makers Consultant
I eventually discovered that not only did I do well at design, but I also excelled at using computers. In the last year before Heritage Makers was bought out, I was asked to teach the monthly classes for other consultants to learn better how to use the program. Combining visual design and technical skill was new and very exciting for me, and it was extremely satisfying to be considered competent enough that others sought my advice regularly.
I had a blast as a consultant, won some awards, and even got to go on the annual cruise. I loved designing things for my business, both online and in print. I was even asked to design things for the company's local events. I was sometimes paid to design things for other business owners as well, including photographers and our local preschool. I sometimes even had the fun opportunity to design personal things for others, like wedding stationary or yearbooks.
