and pick out the words that resonate with you. If there's a word that's
not included on the list that more accurately reflects you, add it!

Your brand statement is going to be made up of the last two sections.
It should reflect yourself, your personality, and your values. If you ran
into your hero on a moving sidewalk at the airport and you only had
until the end of it to explain how cool you are, what would you say?

EXAMPLE:
[Walking dogs, being outside, and talking to likeminded people] + [wanting to run my own studio] +
[illustrating people and their pets] + [empathetic + optimistic + joyous] =
