Carmen|Artist & Creator

Hi, my name is Carmen, and welcome to Visiondezignz.

For over a decade, I felt lost. I was a creative person with a spinning head and a heart full of "sizzled-out" passions.

My journey was a winding road: I'd dove into painting, then photography, moved into graphic design, started a print-on-demand shop, built two podcasts from scratch, and fell in love with bookbinding...

Every time I "finished" one and moved to the next, I felt like a failure. I was convinced something was wrong with me because I couldn't just pick one thing and stick with it.

Then, I had a breakthrough.

I wasn't failing; I was in school. I wasn't sizzling out; I was mastering a new skill. I wasn't a "master of none"; I was a multi-passionate creative director in training.

Visiondezignz is the result of that 11-year journey.

It's the "umbrella" for all my passions, finally living in one place. It's the brand that proves all those "messy" pieces were just part of a bigger puzzle.

Here, you'll find all my "entities," working together:

• The Visiondezignz Creative Agency: My new side hustle "career." This is where I use all those "sizzled-out" skills to help other overwhelmed artists and creators (like me!) handle their business so they can get back to their passion.

• The "JACKD podcast": My "voice." This is where I get to have real, honest conversations about life, culture, and the patterns I see in the world.

• Codex & Collage: My "heart." This is my podcast and passion for the tangible, hands-on world of junk journaling, bookbinding, and paper art.

• The "Playbook": My "calling." My new and upcoming mission is to use these creative tools to inspire and motivate the next generation of artists.

This isn't just a website. It's my story. It's the home for a multi-passionate mind.

Welcome to Visiondezignz.
