How does my artsy side enhance my instructional design?

My artistic side enriches my work as an instructional designer because I can see things in new ways, brainstorm ideas out of the box, and use my creative talents to add an aesthetic appeal.

Dot painting

I took a mandala dot painting class during a weekend in Sarasota and loved it. Fun fact: The instructor's name was Simone, and she was also from Brazil!

The picture on the right is of my first-ever dot-painted mandala, the one I did in class.

Fast forward a couple of years...I am now doing art shows and teaching workshops

I currently teach at Leu Gardens, in Orlando, FL. More workshops will be announced soon.

Knitting and crochet

I learned to knit and crochet when I was 10 and never stopped. It is a real passion of mine and I take my needles, crochet hooks and yarn everywhere I go, just in case an opportunity for some creative stitching shows up.

Furniture refurbishing

This is such a great way to renovate the house without buying new stuff!
