My Journey from Marketing Director to Nail Art Content Creator
I’m Sylvia Valdez, a proud mother of three beautiful children who light up my world and inspire me every day. The year 2020 brought a seismic shift to the lives of everyone, and my own journey took an unexpected turn as I found myself amidst the glittering streets of California after three years.
Before that, I had a thriving career as a Marketing Director for high-end auto dealerships. Little did I know that my life was about to take a dramatic twist.
When the world ground to a halt, I discovered a new passion in the most unexpected way. It all began with a simple nail art session with a neighbor. We painted our nails, and the designs we created were truly special. That evening, my neighbor posted her beautifully adorned nails on local Facebook pages, and that’s when my life started to change.
In a matter of hours, my schedule was packed for weeks on end. I set up a small nail art station in my home, where I began creating intricate nail designs that I couldn’t get enough of. The more I delved into the world of nail art and designs, the more I fell in love with it.
But there was one significant hurdle in my path: I wasn’t licensed to practice nail art professionally. As a military spouse, I knew that getting a license would be a challenge, given the constant relocations. However, just when it seemed like my dream might remain out of reach, fate had other plans.
I crossed paths with VBeautyPure a brand that believes in people’s dreams and aspirations. They saw something in me, something untamed and determined, and they chose to invest in my potential. With their support, I embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and creative expression.
My story is a testament to what can happen when passion and determination meet the right opportunity. Today, I stand as a Nail Art Content Creator, from being a Marketing Director, and my journey is a testament to the incredible heights one can reach when they follow their dreams.
My Consistent Rise in the World of Beauty and Marketing
I’ve always been one to stay true to my passions and determined to transform them into something truly extraordinary. Armed with my background in marketing, I embarked on a journey that combined my skills with a newfound love for nail art.
For the past 1.5 years, I’ve poured my heart and soul into growing my social media presence. Through consistent effort and my marketing knowledge, I’ve seen my following steadily rise. It’s been a journey of small steps, but each one has brought me closer to my dreams.
Today, I’m not just a social media enthusiast; I’ve evolved into a content creator and a proud brand ambassador for VBeautyPure and Arkon Mounts. It’s a journey that fills me with immense gratitude for the incredible people who have crossed my path, each one a part of this remarkable ride. I owe my growth to the support of those who’ve believed in me, and I’m endlessly thankful for the opportunities that have come my way.
I look forward to the future with excitement, eager to see what it holds for me and my ever-expanding dreams, whether it’s through the lens of marketing or the artistry of nail design.
Sylvia Valdez’s Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Beauty Industry Professionals
If you’re aspiring to make your mark in the beauty industry, here’s a Bead of wisdom, lol, from yours truly:
Invest In Your Future: To build a successful career, you must invest in your future. This means not only in terms of your time and effort but also in the quality of the products you use. The beauty industry is all about attention to detail, and using the best products will set you apart from the rest.
Stay Consistent: Consistency is the secret ingredient that can take you from aspiring to thriving. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a successful beauty career. Stay committed to your craft, keep perfecting your skills, and, above all, maintain consistency in your efforts.
Thank you to David DiLorenzo for helping me grow and giving me all the tools I need to be where I am and where I’m headed.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect if being an artist for me would be falling in Love with the process! Loving the process can spark creativity and innovation. You’re more open to experimentation and trying new approaches, leading to novel solutions and ideas. In essence, falling in love with the process is about recognizing that the journey is as important, if not more so, than the destination. It’s about finding fulfillment and satisfaction in the daily grind, the incremental progress, and the small victories along the way. This mindset shift can bring greater joy and success to your endeavors.
