The most useful experience I took from PCA&D was to work within a set deadline. In college, time management was always a struggle for me unless I could visualize my timeline and meet the expected deadline. Although I no longer have professors setting deadlines for me, I set my own to structure studio time accordingly.

Another important thing that I've learned since leaving PCA&D is to always leave the door open for collaborations with other artists. Social media has been an incredible tool to connect working artists, it's important to continue to show your work in any way you can!
