We recently connected with Aaliyah Lang and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Aaliyah thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
The turning point in my life came when my artwork started getting noticed and appreciated by those around me. I was creating flyers, business cards, and even developed my own website for my first business in clothing/beauty. My friends and family were not just complimenting my work, but also asking if I had ever considered pursuing design professionally. Honestly, the thought hadn’t really struck me until 2022, when the idea of design began to resonate deeply within me. I believe it was God nudging me towards this path. Trusting this divine guidance, I took a leap of faith and began building my portfolio. Seeing my designs take shape and come to life was nothing short of amazing. It was an unmistakable sign from God that I was on the right path.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
As a creative individual, I excel at expressing myself through various forms of digital art. I never put limits on my creativity when I’m in the zone, and this has helped me develop a unique design style that’s well-loved by others. Even though I’m a newcomer to the design industry, consistent practice has sharpened my skills and given me the confidence to launch my own business, Forever114Graphics, in April 2023. I stand by the belief of being true to myself and trusting the journey, which has led to the creation of a brand aimed at making a significant impact. It’s crucial for people to know that Forever114Graphics is more than just a graphic design business, it’s a brand dedicated to making a positive difference. I’m incredibly passionate about my work and can’t wait to see where my creative journey leads me in the future.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I’m constantly growing my presence on social media, day by day. I express myself by sharing captivating graphics that really resonate with fellow creatives and entrepreneurs. It’s such a joy for me to offer insights into my design process and share valuable tips on how to elevate their own designs. The response has been amazing! People have shown a keen interest in what I have to offer, and as a result, I’ve gained a ton of clients through the power of social media. It’s truly rewarding to see my hard work and passion paying off in such a meaningful way! My best advice when it comes to building an online presence is to find your niche and create content specific to that particular niche. Once you start, stay consistent!
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
As a graphic designer, there’s an indescribable joy in bringing a client’s vision to life. It’s incredibly rewarding when I can deliver exactly what they’re looking for. Seeing their satisfaction and knowing I’ve made their ideas come alive is a feeling like no other. It’s a wonderful blend of fulfillment and accomplishment that keeps me passionate about my work!
