Imagine this. You go to your favorite Asian restaurant after what seems like a bad day. Like when the bird singing outside of your window is a vulture or when your twin sister forgets your birthday. A day when you don’t feel motivated and help must be around the corner. And then there it is: a fortune cookie. Why yes! A delectable treat of imparting wisdom. An endless void of truths and should bes. It will have the answer! You grab it off the shelf and excitedly rip open its plastic wrapper and cookie shell to see what life changing prophecy is to be told, only to read…
“It’s about time I got out of that cookie.”
What?! What the haywho does that mean? What a silly fortune cookie! And then it hits you, that fortune has impatiently been waiting to come out. It has been inside its hard shell for so long just sitting to see the bright daylight outside. What would we be like if we were like that? We all have great potential just waiting to be realized if only we could break through our shells. What if we let nothing stand in the way of our quest to use our gifts and talents? What if I didn’t care how other people did things and do what I know is right? What if I became part of an organization who did just that?
And so I did.
Hello everyone, my name is Jonelly Sharp and I am the new Junior Graphic Designer here at Stokefire. The above story is an example of what many designers and non designers alike feel from time to time. We feel stonewalled, discouraged, and even downright unmotivated. When we feel this way, the reality is, the only thing holding you back is you. Be like water. When you reach an obstacle. Go around. Even in the tiniest crack, water will find a way in. With that belief I am very pleased to be part of the Stokefire family. I hope to use my design expertise along with my cheerleading attitude to make Stokefire stand tall among the giants. My first day here was wonderful, everyone is genuinely here to rock the branding world. I am so excited to be part of something ready to explode on the scene.
So here’s to you reader to be the rock star that you are, and here’s to Stokefire to be the revolution it will be. It will be televised, and we will be watching.
-Jonelly
