Assist with Sid's Living Expenses!

Hello everyone!

As many of you know, I am currently a full-time graphic design student at Seattle Central College. The program is known for being incredibly rigorous, as it's a four-year degree condensed into two years. We learn everything from Coding, UX/UI design, Magazine Layout, Branding and Advertising to Videography, After Effects and Animation (to name a few.) We extensively learn how to work in most Adobe programs, from In-design, Illustrator and Photoshop to Premiere Pro and After Effects. The work is intense but highly rewarding. I am so thankful to finally be pursuing a lifelong career that I know I will love, and will also allow me to support my musical career. It's exciting to know that in just one year, I'll be able to graduate and hopefully help make the world a better place through thoughtful design.

However, making ends meet financially while being a student has proven to be difficult. All my financial aid goes towards tuition, so I have had to work part-time and pick up freelance work in addition to gigging when I can to help pay bills, rent and basic living expenses. The hustle is pretty stressful, as well as physically and emotionally draining. Furthermore, it takes away focus from my studies. Although I am a straight-A student, juggling so many things at once is leading to burnout, and so it's time for me to ask for help from the community.

Any little bit counts - and I really appreciate any and all help. Not only will you be helping me pay for everyday expenses, you will also help me to focus more on my studies and being a creative! Thank you so much for reading and donating - you're really helping this girl out! <3

P.S I attached some photos of assigned projects this quarter - Enjoy!
