Allow we to introduce myself; my names are Bright Sight owner and founder of BSC Lifestyle Boutique. BSC is an abbreviation for Bright Sight Collections not limited to jewelry making. I made my first jewelry accessory in 2012 exactly the same year that I was convinced this was it.
I was lucky enough to have a mentor of sorts who truly helped me on my journey of self-discovery. After graduating from University with a Bachelors Degree in Economics and Management (specialized in Trade Law and Policy); I worked a few jobs employed of course but it was not long before I realized that there was more to life and work than being employed. Due to some reasons that I might share later on, I truly became eager and hungry to discover my passion in the sense of work that I can do well whilst enjoying it at the same time.
My younger sister who was still in Law School at the time had a friend that I truly admired not just as a lawyer in the making but I almost drooled over her creative senses from jewelry making to pastel paintings among others. I did buy her handmade jewelry accessories and wore them almost everyday. My work colleagues and friends really admired the jewelry accessories which got me thinking about learning the art of the same.
I remember approaching my sister’s friend and sharing with her my need for self-discovery as far as work was concerned. I wanted to explore and see if there was any artistic traits within myself. My proposition was to help her sell the jewelry at work whilst in exchange she would teach me how to make jewelry. She agreed to this and indeed this went surprisingly well. While at it, I was able to do a market survey of sorts which also convinced me that it was something that I could explore more. She taught me jewelry making and oil pastel painting of which the accessories won me over. I however still admired paintings and love them too.
I am grateful till this day for her willingness to teach me and for being teachable 🙂 Knowing that I had such a skill gave me the courage to quit my last employment as a customer service advisor to embark on my own journey as a jewelry designer. This took lots of practice and the more I did it, the better it got. I hope that you enjoyed this read and that it can inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and learn a new skill.
