Margo Chase has had such an inspirational, and envious,
career path! Her style and skills are so well-rounded and she is always willing
to push herself further and try something new. She mentioned that she felt at
the beginning of her career she started getting known for a certain style, which
has its perks, but also can ultimately pigeon-hole you into a certain market. She
pushed through this adversity, and has shown that you have to be confident in
what you produce and what you are capable of. Before she even knew how to do
effects on a Mac, she told her client that she could, because she knew it was
possible. She trusted herself and her ability to push herself and her skills.
Margo showed that you must always been soaking in
information and inspiration from everywhere. She has an extensive book
collection that she references frequently for ideas, and also uses several
different types of media to expand her creative thought process. She sketches
and draws when she is traveling, and said that she pulls influence for certain
projects from something that she had already created or an idea she thought of.
Margo took each new opportunity as it came to her, made it
her own, and wasn’t afraid of a challenge, even if she didn’t feel fully prepared.
My main takeaway from Margo’s story is that as much as you try, you can never
be truly prepared for challenges in life. So, it is important to take the leap
anyway, be confident in yourself, and know if you work hard at it, you will
succeed.
