We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mixxie Hernandez. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mixxie below.

Mixxie , so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.

Keep running my creativity alive by capturing the amazing momentums i create and i watch how the life going on for days. it was really useful to observe people in the general that made the connection in the sudden second before taking the photos. its my job to create by having people see into photos i took and it helped them understanding when have to look closely of how creativity alive like the manifesting thoughts and similarities experienced. it helps to manage my depression as well when doing the pictures in somewhere i go to. They are like a life film to remember.Creativity is my muse.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

My name is Mixxie and I am also deaf with sign language. I was born and raised in CA. i am currently living in Long Beach, CA. I have a great artistic mind from my grandparents. I grew observing the life goes on daily like it has grown my creativity mind became more and keep learning how to do with a film camera, photography class and my own photography business. I am very independent person to do the work and depending on these days i needed the help with an assistant. For two worlds such as hearing and deaf in one world i grew with and i learnt how to communicate and met their needs/imaginations for pictures. Some of hearing clients have notice the challenges in the communication of American Sign Language i have so i was doing all is gestures with them during doing my job. It was my job to not making them worry and all they can do to have fun. Just follow my instincts and not overthink at how to do this. We are allowed to make mistakes and embrace not knowing what is next part. I captured an exhilarating experience we felt.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The impact in my journey was so more as much as my qualities, skills and creativities made me alive. it helped me to confront the different methods and the difficult situations to be coped or solved. It was hard to get hired every day when it comes to their budget , their cancellation, and their skeptical feelings by seeing my deafness life they weren’t sure how to communicate as well. Overall, i am not allowing to have these oppressions on my skills and creativity ideas go low. Just rolling with what you really love and things are your passion or muse. It will be the best develop on these if keep fighting day by day.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

I am looking for folks to partner or collaborate with, such as director of photography, advertising poster of their brand stuffs, models magazines, events and movie posters. They can connect with me through showing my experiences and skills ideas. I am very impulsive person to discuss the ideas and thoughts. It’s about the possibilities to show.
