We had the good fortune of connecting with Tina Mitoyan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tina, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
It was like a driven force and I had to do it. It’s one of those things that you have to continue once you start so you can see any lucrative results .. and then it’s full-filling as an artist.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The day I became self employed was probably one of my happiest days ever. I was excited but also so nervous. The nerves were worth it !!! So if you ever get the chance and want to pursue something on your own, do it !

The road I took was not an easy one and there were always doubts. Choosing something that excites you is the way to go because even with the doubts you carry on and persevere.

The truth is the type of work you do and the people you meet shapes your character and personality and as long as you stay true to who you are along the way is all that matters. It won’t go unnoticed meeting the right people and networking.

As a creative and a small business owner there’s a lot of never ending self promotion involved and as long as you attract your tribe of clients – the world is your oyster.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My sister ! If I ever needed a little creative direction publishing anything .. she’s always been my guide.
