Balancing Goals, Burnout & Naysayers

Rebecca, a seasoned illustrator with more than 8 years of creative experience, kicked off her artistic journey with a personal challenge back when she was just 12. Her goal? To self-publish her first book before hitting 13. Well, she didn’t quite make the deadline and learned so many lessons along the way, but finally at 14, she achieved that dream. This challenge sparked something unstoppable within her, propelling her into a whirlwind of diverse and meaningful projects.

Among these, she contributed her artistic talent to illustrious projects such as the New York Times bestselling book, Lives of The Stoics, authored by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman. But it doesn’t stop there. She’s crafted illustrations for various books and designed custom art and posters that reflect company values, enhancing work culture for the innovative minds over at Purple.

Presently, she assumes the role of creative director and co-founder at Inkinetic Studios. What’s cool is that she’s not confined to a traditional office. Rebecca’s a digital nomad, traveling alongside her husband. When she’s not busy bringing art to life, she’s off hiking, enjoying a good chess match, diving into books, singing a tune or two, putting pen to paper, and, well, doodling even more. Art isn’t just a job for her—it’s a passion that fuels her adventures.
