Jeweler “I love the whole creative
process of custom designing jewelry: talking with clients, trying to figure out what they want, thinking about different designs, putting them down on paper and finally turning my ideas into something real and beautiful, with gold, diamonds, pearls, rubies, and sapphires.” - Peter
What I like most about being a comic creator is the independence: I work from home, I set my own hours, and taking my lunch when I want. It’s flexible enough to be able to take a Tuesday off instead of a Saturday or go have a walk in the park if it’s a nice day and then I can just work a little later.” - Tara
