Meet Patricia Morella Segura

We were lucky to catch up with Patricia Morella Segura recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Patricia Morella , thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.

I’ve overcome imposter syndrome by consistently shifting my perspective and focusing on growth rather than comparison. You would be surprised how many creatives have this same problem that even some of the most skilled and well-known artists talk about there experience with imposter syndrome, which showed me that it’s not really about talent or worth, but about mindset. For me, it became important to recognize that the level I’m at today comes from my own work and dedication, I need to take a moment to appreciate my progress because that’s what brought me to my results.
Lastly, I focus on moving forward and improving, and that mindset helps me manage self-doubt while staying motivated because my progress will only take me higher.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

My work as an aspiring animator has been about exploring different ways to tell stories, and one of the niches I’m most drawn to is creating music videos through animation. I love being able to visually interpret a song taking the lyrics, the mood, and the emotion behind the music and turning it into something you can experience on screen. What’s most exciting for me right now is working on an original animation series with my good friend and Animation partner, Avery Harrison. This is the first project where we’re building a world completely from scratch our own story, our own characters, and the way we want to bring their world to life. Both music videos and this series allow me to explore storytelling in unique ways, and I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and creating as I bring these visions to reality.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of giving each skill its own dedicated time and space to grow. I already felt confident in my illustration work and knew I could pursue it professionally, but when it came to animation, story writing, and storyboarding, I realized I couldn’t work on all three at the same time and expect to get good at them. I had to be intentional about setting aside time to focus on one area, really learn it, and then move on to the next. For anyone just starting out, my advice would be don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to master everything at once, because you will put your progress like 10 steps backwards. Build a strong foundation with one skill, then use that learned skill to branch out other skills. Over time, those skills will come together and strengthen yourself as a whole.

Do you think it’s better to go all in on our strengths or to try to be more well-rounded by investing effort on improving areas you aren’t as strong in?

As an artist, I think it’s absolutely necessary to invest time in areas where you’re not as strong, even if it feels uncomfortable. Strengths are important, but if you lean on them only, you limit the range of what you can create. For example, in my current animation series, I’ve had to step outside my comfort zone. I feel most confident drawing people, but to really tell the story, I’ve have to learn how to draw landscapes, buildings, cars, and weapons. Those weren’t things I naturally enjoyed, but if I ignored them, it would show in the final project. Pushing myself to grow in those areas tells me that it makes the work more complete and the storytelling stronger.

On top of that, I’m also pursuing my bachelor’s degree which is not in art or design, but in business. I didn’t expect to go that route, but I realized it’s just as important to understand the business side of being an artist, from marketing to getting your work out into the world. That knowledge will only benefit me in the future.

In the end, it’s about being open-minded. Sometimes the skills that don’t feel directly connected to your passion are the ones that actually give you an edge. If you don’t want to be limited or caught off guard later, it’s worth learning those areas now so you’re prepared, aware, and ready to grow
