Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Adan Bautista. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Adan, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Have you been able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen? Was it like that from day one? If not, what were some of the major steps and milestones and do you think you could have sped up the process somehow knowing what you know now?
I fortunately am able to earn a full time living from my creative work as a make up artist and stylist. At first, it was not easy letting go of an industry that shaped and gave me customer service skills and confidence to be a leader and to pursue my passion.
I worked in the hospitality industry for over 12 years. The transition to work as a full time artist made me realize the needs of companies and individuals that wanted to elevate their professional image and brand. That became my niche. .
I truly believe that everything that you experience in life, shapes you to be who you want to be. I do not believe I could have sped up the process because the journey has taken me to and through many obstacles that got me to where I currently am at.
I always look for opportunities to learn and enhance my career. I have taken classes such as marketing, language arts and have been involved in creative projects such as beauty pageants, corporate events and films.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I am expert image consultant and a stylist with over 15 years experience in the corporate and entertainment industry, My personalized approach to my craft, set me apart from others in the field. It is imperative to connect with my clients so that their outside image reflect who they are inside.
I have worked on many projects throughout my 15 years. Projects that stood out were:
Designing and executing an entire marketing campaign for Miss Teen Universe Tennessee. I traveled to San Diego to compete for the crown and we won the National Pageant as Miss Teen Universe USA. Personal image advisor and stylist for over 5 years at Univison for TV anchor Mariela Romero, a community empowerment leader.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a successful artist is to be recognized by the community as a trail blazer and leader in the beauty industry. Being an entrepreneur, delegating work and meeting creative people from around the world is also rewarding.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to always look for opportunities to enhance and highlight my clients best attributes and aspects representing their personality and professional image.
