Join the Online Network for Creative People
I think that creativity is wonderful ... but have you noticed that creative people sometimes have a tendency to pour all their energies into, well, CREATING, and it leaves precious little time for networking and selling and developing new business contacts, clients, or customers. This is true for creative people in areas like jewelry design, interior design, product design, feng shui, blogging, photography, and all other creative arts. So when a friend of mine, the director of University of Rochester's drama department, told me about the Behance Network, a huge online creative network, I thought this would be an ideal resource to steer you to. On Behance, you're able to join the network, post information and images about yourself so others can get to know you better, and then post projects.
Visitors to Behance may be on the prowl for inspiration (guilty!), networking for community purposes with fellow professionals (you can follow other creatives and give things you love a thumbs-up appreciation vote), or look for creatives to hire for an upcoming project - from architectural planning for a residence or business to designing a new wedding dress. Click on the photos to go to some of the projects I found that quickly caught my eye.
As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I encourage you to network with your fellow creative professionals. If you're interested in learning more about home decorating and design, then I encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng Shui, Wedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.
