We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful LookaHeir Legends Run in My Family. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with LookaHeir below.
Hi LookaHeir, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
I hope that my legacy is my purpose. If I’m being blessed with a talent and being driven to pursue my passions, I don’t want to take my gifts for granted. I want the Lord to receive all of the credit for what He allows me to do. I’m sharing my journey, hoping to show how He works through me. I’ve learned that the Lord’s way is unpredictable. I don’t always understands what He’s doing…but I know He’s working. I’ve had what I believed to be past failures turn into blessings, several years later. I never imagined that this would be my career path because I never knew it existed. I would say that the Lord created this niche for me. So, I was born to do it.
My career as an ancestry artist is helping others to create legacies of their ancestors journeys. But I’m only able to do so because I believed the Lord had a purpose for my passions. I grew up loving art, family history & storytelling…then the Lord turned the 3 into a niche for me. I never dreamed that one day, I’d get to help families keep their memories forever.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I call myself an ancestry artist/illustrator, memory maker, imaginista & lover of nostalgia. Not trying to sound goofy but my favorite days of the week are #throwbackThursday & #FlasbackFriday.
The Lord gave me a passion for family history research, which led to me creating, LookaHeir “Legends Run in My Family” a personalized ancestry art studio dedicated to creating legacies, sharing memories & preserving family history. I love enjoying memories, it’s an experience for me. Being an artist and illustrator helps me to recreate your memories in a unique way. But I also get to use my talents to help family historians & genealogists, save their family history.
LookaHeir creates personalized ancestry wall art, like photo family trees, family history/event timelines, story wall art and photo restoration services. We can work miracles on your old photos before they fade away.
I’m proud that LookaHeir, is unique & original. We’re rooting for your ancestors by retelling their stories. We get to create cool conversation pieces that serve as both entertainment for your family and friends as well as educational tools. Your family history matters, there’s always something that you can learn from your ancestors.
We can also help you to start creating a legacy for your own journey, as a legend in the making.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Part of my mission is to save family history. It’s important to record your memories. We too often take our ancestors, family members, friends and people in our communities for granted. All of us have a story. But we also maybe the keys to solving others family mysteries. Ancestry.com, FamilySearch & other family history sites can’t give us all of our clues. Sometimes we have to lean on each other. Hopefully, the more history that I help people save…the more they’ll share.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
Man’s way is not the only way to in order to make it or be happy.
Backstory: Today, I wouldn’t be enjoying the niche that the Lord created for me.
