Who is Tasha Webster?
My Why?: As a creative, I also have this extremely curious and rebellious nature that thrives on testing societal norms and stereotypes. I also believe that every other ambitious and underrepresented youth deserves to see someone like them winning at life and beating statistics!
I do what I do because:
I am passionate about positive change.
I am passionate about equality.
I am passionate about affording opportunities to those who may be underestimated.
My Passion: Encouraging others to be themselves, to dig deeper and to create from a place of curiosity.
My Obsession: Creating something from nothing be-it art, digital media or an entire company just to have the ability and freedom to TEST my own limits, FUEL my "sweet spots" and for the chance to share something unique and helpful with the world.
My Weakness: Big tasks that lack strategy and a challenge.
My Strength: Making seemingly complex tasks manageable and digestible and discovering unique associations between unrelated subjects and industries (innovation, anyone).
My Mantra: "Follow your curiosity" - Life does not always put you directly on your destined path, but if you follow your curiosity it can very well lead you down roads that you never knew existed.
My Vision: pending further review from "the boss" - it's definitely something creative, though!
