I have the jack of all trades complex, but i’m embracing it

For a big part of my life (read 24 years) I followed the path I thought I was supposed to take.

I graduated college with honors.
I earned an International Business bachelor’s degree and a minor in French.
I added on a certification for the Music & Entertainment Business Program at KSU.
I got a salary paying job immediately after graduating that was actually in the field I studied.

I did everything right.

But suddenly I was 24 years old, not happy and feeling lost.

Then the pandemic happened and I had time to think about where I was in life and where I wanted to be and I quickly realized I needed to make a change.

I had so many things I was decent at, but nothing that was a “why that made me cry” (yes I drank the MLM juice for a bit, thought maybe that would be my calling).

I settled on forming this business that encompasses all the art forms I like. And through this business I got connected to another business, Konnect’d Entertainment, back in 2022. That community knows me as “Chilla” because The Crafty Chinchilla was a mouthful.

Now I get to do even more things that I love doing in the field I started in. Full circle.

Meet Bubbles and Bitsy

I came up with the name for my art business when playing with my two chinchillas. I didn’t want to pigeon-hole myself into one form of art and I love alliteration thus, The Crafty Chinchilla was born November 2020.

Since then I’ve been working on exploring different art forms, techniques, and honing my skills.
