The Bauble Tree: A Living Manifestation of My Vision
The Bauble Tree: A Living Manifestation of My Vision
For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to the symbolism of the tree. It is more than just a representation of nature; it is a cosmic map, a spiritual anchor, and a bridge between the physical and the divine. Trees appear across mythologies and sacred traditions as vessels of knowledge, wisdom, and transformation. The Christmas tree, in particular, resonates deeply with me—not just as a holiday tradition but as a living artistic experience that reflects my creative flow and personal journey.
Why a Christmas Tree?
In many ways, the Christmas tree is a modern echo of the Tree of Life—a symbol of interconnectedness, divine structure, and manifestation. Each ornament, each carefully placed light, serves as a point of meaning, a small representation of the beauty and energy woven into my vision. Unlike mass-produced decorations that exist for the sake of uniformity, my baubles are individual spheres of beauty, detailed and intentional, forming part of a cohesive collection.
This process is not just about aesthetics—it is about honoring the balance between spiritual and physical realms, the duality that exists in all aspects of life. Every bauble, every addition to the tree, represents a moment of artistic expression, a captured idea, and a step in my journey toward manifesting a greater vision.
The Bauble Tree as a Personal and Professional Manifestation
For years, I have dreamt of creating design collections—not just random pieces of art but structured, themed, and deeply meaningful works that can be experienced as a whole. The Bauble Tree is the perfect medium for this. It is seasonal, evolving, and allows for storytelling through design. Each month, I develop a themed collection that brings together:
- Handcrafted baubles and decor
- Visual storytelling
- Spiritual and symbolic integration
- Digital and physical design elements
This approach allows me to integrate my artistic work into a structured framework while still allowing for organic creative flow. It also provides a way to explore income possibilities while ensuring my work remains meaningful.
Bringing Vision into Income and Social Responsibility
Beyond artistic expression, I recognize the need to bridge creativity with sustainability and service. My challenge has always been how to bring this vision into a structured model that supports both my work and the people who resonate with it. After researching different career paths, I found that UI/UX design aligns with my skills and interests at an 80% match. It allows me to combine design, storytelling, and functionality—three elements deeply embedded in my creative approach.
The missing piece? Figma.
To fully integrate my vision into a structured career model, I will be dedicating March to learning Figma, using my March Bauble Collection as a hands-on project within the program. By building my collection in Figma, I will:
- Learn the software while actively creating
- Develop digital assets that can be used for marketing and branding
- Expand my ability to offer design services in UI/UX spaces
- Create an interactive experience that enhances my Bauble Tree storytelling
This means my journey is no longer just about art for art’s sake. It is about weaving together design, income, and social responsibility into a unified experience.
Next Steps in My Journey
- Develop the March Collection in Figma – Learning by doing, applying UI/UX skills to my own project.
- Expand Monetization – Offering limited-edition handmade baubles, digital design elements, and storytelling pieces.
- Create a Brand Narrative – Showcasing my journey across platforms to engage with a broader audience.
- Integrate Digital & Physical Workflows – Exploring ways to combine handcrafted artistry with digital tools for a more expansive creative experience.
The Bauble Tree as a Living Reflection of My Path
This journey is about more than just crafting objects—it is about offering who I am, in the most authentic way possible. I am not interested in mass production for the sake of consumerism. I am interested in curating experiences, manifesting beauty, and exploring the balance between the spiritual and the material.
The Bauble Tree is my canvas, my evolving vision board, and my most natural form of expression. Through it, I am building something greater—a world where art, meaning, and service can coexist. By aligning my artistic process with new digital skills and structured design approaches, I am creating a sustainable model that remains true to my essence.
This is my journey—my tree, my spheres of beauty, my path toward creation and integration. And with each collection, each bauble, each intentional step, I am bringing my vision further into reality.
