A few COMD students and I decided to attend a poetry slam event to perform work we’ve been putting time into and gaining insight into other artist’s work and niche’s. While there, I met an entrepreneur named Vega who ran his own fitness program. He was also a poet and a writer. After performing myself and watching my other fellow COMD friends do the same we all took time to connect and give feedback on the work we saw. When I went home after the project I took a gander at Vega’s brand and I saw an opportunity to make a stronger connection and perhaps do freelance work or get hired. I took the liberty of creating a reel based off of one of his Instagram posts and gave it to him free of charge, offering my services. He received it well and there may be an opportunity there in the future. I’m glad to be able to attend events like these to build my repertoire and network.
