My Creative Philosophy
I've always had a desire in life that I wanted to have things a very specific way. My clothes had to look a certain way with a certain pattern. I wanted shelves to be the exact right height and width to fit what I was putting there. My tote bag for conventions had to carry everything I might buy and show off all my pins at the same time. I wanted to have clever cosplays with unique features that wowed others. I wanted to make things my way and that's how I know they would be exactly how I imagined. This led to me gaining a wide array of skills to learn how to make all these things by hand to my exact specifications. Tools and machines made it better, faster, and easier to make them, and then I wanted to share my designs and craftings with the world. I think about what I make, how I make it, why I make it, and I gain passion and energy from creating the things I dream up in my head. I'll spend hours thinking about how I want something to be and I want to be unique. Beyond Basic Geek comes from a foundation of wanting to go beyond the simple and the basic. Anybody could create something that would be perfectly fine, but I want to design cleverly and thoughtfully. I want people to see my creations and think to themselves, "That was really smart," or, "I never thought about doing THAT!" I want to stand out. I want to be unique. I want to go beyond. Beyond Basic Geek is part of my pursuit to be amazing and bring creativity to the world.
