Hello! It's been a while. Apologies for inactivity, I have a lot on my plate. Some mild familial troubles, though nothing new, and trying to figure them out, along with some big stuff. My life is hitting a major transition period, as I've been called to serve a mission for my church (LDS), and I'm preparing to begin training and go on my mission in just a few weeks! I got called to California, speaking the Hmong language, so much of my time has been spent on studying, scripture reading, and studying this beautiful language. In my free time though, I spend a lot of time working on perfumes. I've started really falling in love with making them, though I still have a lot more to work on before making anything that doesn't smell too muddy, I've hit a potential gold mine, and I won't have to worry about them smelling generic. Below I've attached a little rough sketch I've been working on for my logo. The letters need better alignment, and the logo is just a pre filler sketch my friend designed for me, though I plan to make it more golden ratio-esque and slightly more minimalist, as the mollusk design I engraved on each bottle and cap. I've designed the bottles, packaging, story cards and storytelling, and currently have around twenty concepts in the works, with four being currently developed by *yours truly 💅*, and the more I do this, the more I'm realizing this is a career I want. I've also spent a long time locking in on different tastes and building little profiles for a lot of the brothers here, and so when I start releasing my stuff in a few years, you'll find things that are a little curated to your guys' tastes ;) Still an enormous thank you to Mr Centeno and this community for getting me on this journey! After a lot of time, work, effort, and money, I'm hoping to break through eventually, however long it takes. Currently we don't have any socials, but I am working on a website in its bare bones, and when I return in the two years, I'll start having these finished up, and prepared to continue the designs. I will be so happy to share this progress with you as I continue on.
