We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Cayla Leung. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Cayla below.
Hi Cayla, so happy to have you with us today and there is so much we want to ask you about. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others developed certain skills or qualities that we are struggling with can be helpful. Along those lines, we’d love to hear from you about how you developed your ability to take risk?
Thank you for having me! I believe that I developed my ability to take risks through a journey of self-discovery and from leaving the comfort zone from my upbringing. Growing up, the emphasis in my household was on choosing the safe and familiar path, which clashed with my creative mindset. This led to a sense of not fully fitting in during my younger years.
As I entered my 20s, I began to embrace the idea that the unknown could hold significant rewards. The realization of being uncomfortable was essential for personal growth. It was during this period that I started taking more risks, exploring different territories that allowed my creativity to flourish.
Now in my late 20s, I own my own creative agency called CL studio créatif | Creative Studio, a reality that would have seemed impossible just three years ago when I was in a conventional 9-5 job.
I’ve come to understand that being uncomfortable is not a hindrance but rather a stepping stone to improvement. This chapter of running my creative agency has become a great example to the belief that taking risks, although scary, is pivotal in becoming a better version of myself. The journey of changing my mindset to running a creative agency has been both challenging and immensely rewarding, true growth does lie beyond the boundaries of comfort.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I’m Cayla, the Founder behind CL Studio Créatif! My mission is all about helping brands shine by uncovering the unique stories that make them special. I offer services for graphic design, branding, content creation, videography, photography, web design, and social media management.
I love teaming up to create meaningful concepts that bring your vision to life. With a background spanning fashion, real estate, construction, hospitality, food, and tech, I bring a diverse range of experiences to the table.
My true passion lies in guiding clients to develop strategies that truly connect with their audiences!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Communication, time-management and being detail-oriented would be the three main qualities that were most impactful in my journey!
Being able to have clear communication is crucial as I have to be able to set boundaries with my clients, build strong relationships with them and understand what my clients’ needs are. Time-management is also one because I work mainly alone, I need to keep myself motivated and organized so that I can properly allocate time to complete projects. Finally, being detail-oriented has significantly shaped my journey. When a client unveils the narrative of their company or articulates their goals, I make it a point to capture every nuance in my notes. This commitment to detail ensures that creative projects are executed with precision, maintaining a high level of quality!
