Day 1. My DNA. My brother gave me a gift of an Ancestry DNA test kit. What fun!!! My ancestors were fur traders, wealthy landowners, and tenant farmers. And I’m a designer? My dog is looking at me a little weird right now. She does have awesome fur.
Day 2. My DNA. Ok, so I’m now starting to understand how my ancestors ended up in the US. Fur trading doesn’t interest me. My dog is happy about that. She loves her red ball. I love doing high-quality creative and design.
Day 3. My DNA. I now see how my family made it to Massachusetts. I love my parent’s heritage and how it’s influenced my life. I understand how I’ve become a designer (sitting in my dad’s office eating Junior mints by the box). I know why my dog loves playing ball. I’ll have to get her a Cubs hat.
Day 4. My DNA. So it’s fact. Being a designer is in my DNA. Although I still wonder if my Dad gave me his name with Junior after his based on the number of Junior Mints I used to eat. Today, I continue to push the boundaries of digital branding and marketing, exploring new ways to present dynamic content. Thanks to Mom and Dad I love what I do and I continue to pursue what’s next with a passion that borders on the fanatical.
