The best part in life is now.
I hope you feel that. And if you donât, I hope you seize it.
I took this video back in June this summer â been flying back & forth to set up things in my new home, Texas.
Most of this year was a constant lesson on patience and gratitude for each moment â whether or not if things are in your hands and control.
My destination to Dallas felt so clear and so close. But life had other plans for us to take care in Los Angeles before we leave.
A month then two turned into nearly a year â excitement turned to impatience.
This month, things are finally setting back into motion. And it feels human but silly to look back at the extra self imposed stress and pressure on something that has been on its way to work out anyway.
Sometimes, when looking to chase one blessing, you may miss the one in front of you..especially the life happening here and now.
Even through the times that arenât in your control, I hope you can make the best of it â the best part in life is truly now.
Thank you for the feature @voyagelamag - a chance to share the heart of @innerchild.creatives
Here are snippets of the interview. The core and main mission are still the same. But whatâs ânewâ and what has shifted are briefly shared in the last post â InnerChild Creatives is âorganically growing alongside the new life changes Iâm experiencing in my life..â
(More details to be shared in next post & upcoming storiesâ)
Introducing the 2.0 InnerChild Creatives â
The older, more âgrownâ version of our previous chubby, baby letters âIâ and âCâ.
Hey! Itâs been a while 𫶠we collaborated with @celestial_kels (thank you Kels!!â¨) to rework our logo months ago, but finally felt ready to introduce.
Itâs been more than just a visual change on the design.. so it took some time âşď¸

An Evening at Sensorioâ˘
This night was a reminder to intentionally make time for what brings joy and to remember how it feels like.
We visited a large, light installation called âSensorioâ in Paso Robles, CA, and fell in love with the sunset, low hills, and shine from the field of lights.
As the sun fell, the view became more and more magical.
A moment away from the city and usual routine.
A night of collective appreciation from all the attendees whoâve experienced this installation.
This visceral stimulation was heavenly eye candy.
A moment to appreciate how someone else sees the world, and how they chose to celebrate it with their creation.
Here is a small taste of Sensorio through our lens.
I hope you all also celebrate how you see the world. And, find your InnerChild that craves creativity and creation.

A Moment with @hwoo.lee đ§đťâđłđ¤đť
Is 2022 your year to get started on something youâve always wanted to do?
Hyunwoo is a self-taught Asian-American chef with nearly 1M fans on Tiktok for his content and recipes.
We spent a day getting to know him better - seeing his whole process cooking a delicious meal and love for his craft.
If there is one thing we want you to take away from this video - you donât need to get a certain amount of experience to allow yourself share and get started on what you love.
As for @innerchild.creatives , this is one of our proudest projects to test and learn new areas of filming & editing - sound effects, music selection, transition, filming. Capuring the moment and the essence of the subjectâs personality and talent.
Weâre also on our journey learning how to have fun and be better creators.
May 2022 be your year to DO YOU. Happy New Year and cheers!

Hello! Itâs been a while đđťââď¸
Before we send off this year, we wanted to say a few special words â¨
Thank you to all that weâve met along the way â all through this Insta account. We donât believe in accidents when it comes to encounters. And are thankful for your impact to help our journey.
Hoping you all stay cozy đ¤ so we can alll đĽin 2022 đĽ

Itâs Monday morning âď¸
How are you really doing though?
Itâs a simple question. But weâve found that it helps with staying in tune with your inner self.
A month ago, we had a guest speaker @thejournallife in our Wednesday Womenâs Accountability group. She shared simple yet powerful prompts to ask ourselves when we are learning to use journaling as a way of therapy or self-care.
The question âhow are you really doing?â stood out to us. Sometimes, we are conditioned to keep going, move forward, and get through each day - we answer with âIâm good.â Or âIâm fine!â But a simple question to sit down with like this to ask yourself can help with opening up a conversation and releasing your thoughts.
This morning, we hope that you may have smooth yet vibrant morning filled with goodness and joy âď¸ and always, take careâ¨

â˘Meet Quynh⢠our @innerchild.creatives graphic design intern who is graduating out of her 2nd term internship this week đđťâ¨And has recently graduated high school to start college this Fall đcongratulations đ
Back in late January, Quynh had most experience in lovely portrait illustrations and sticker designs. In the span of 6 months, she dipped her feet into everything with an incredible can-do attitude and open mind: learning web design, logo design, social media graphics, and more.
Additionally, we worked together on her new services, pricing, process, and her first website portfolio with new body of work.
We are so proud of how far weâve come together and are excited to see where youâll thrive even more the next few months! It was a pleasure working together with you the past months. And weâre excited to work with you as a freelancer on our team this Fall â¨

Thereâs more when you pause and look around you đŤđ
More blessings. More opportunities. More realizations that things are happening for you and not against you.
Sometimes, we may have a certain vision or goal of wanting our lives to be a certain way.
But as we know, life sometimes throws situations or curveballs that weâve never expected.
This Monday, to whoever needs a lil boost, we hope that you can find peace and know that when you pause and look around, even if things arenât exactly the way you envisioned, there are many things around that are moving right.
Look towards the left, the right, above, and below, and you may see there are more glowing blessings around than just the one you see straight ahead.
Happy Monday â¨
A recap of our weekend event â¨
It was a pleasure meeting everyone! Loved that we all came from different pockets of communities to gather for a design workshop đđť this account has been mostly been interaction with creatives online and itâs been so rewarding to see everyoneâs faces in person, and connect.

â˘Meet Jessica Vuong⢠@jessdesignedthis â¨
Jessica has been part of InnerChild Creativesâ very first team.
Back in late January, she was brought on board for different projectsâ a college education platform and @hello.sophiea .
Somewhere along the road, a passion project called âInnerChild Creativesâ of filming creators transformed into desiring a community of creatives to share knowledge, connect, and learn from. And thus, this account has been separately created and officially coined âInnerChild Creativesâ to continually work with artists, creators, creatives in various industries.
Throughout the internship experience, the goal was to further develop Jessicaâs various talents through different projects and zero in where she would like to head.
Jessica is quick with understanding new concepts, and knowing exactly what to do next. She knows how to get things done and her proactive ness is inspiring to the team. And she is talented in all areas from assisting in strategy to design.
Thank you for everything, Jess! Youâve been a day one đđťthank you for helping bring InnerChild to life. We will miss youđ¤ and have no doubt that you set to thrive on your next step â wherever your journey may lead you.
Follow @jessdesignedthis and meet your new creative friend in graphic design, strategy and branding.
