An artist and a designer could be very similar, both strive to create functional pieces with aesthetic value. The difference between the two is who they work for. An artist works for their own inspiration and their own accord, she takes her own ideas and formalizes them. A designer takes the instructions from a client and interoperates them. He works for another and creates what they want. As for me, I see myself as an artist striving to be a designer. Currently the majority of my art I make for myself. That’s why I’m in school, I want to take a hobby I do for myself and eventually be able to sustain myself by working creatively, to work for someone and creating works of art for everyone.
