Claire Sedovic is a children's book illustrator, graphic designer, adjunct professor, yoga/barre instructor AND freelancer. She is one of the friendliest people I've ever had the pleasure of speaking to. Her first full phrase as a toddler was - "I do it my own self." Mic drop. Any questions?! That independent spirit has led her thus far. We discuss leaving a corporate position and what that decision led to, her passion for design and illustrating on multiple fronts, losing two jobs at the start of COVID and tapping in to her inner child.  Her two mottos are: "Do the work" and "Good Things Take Time". Tap into the mind of Claire! For more information, please visit findinghercourage.com

DO THE WORK (with Claire Sedovic)

Illustrator Claire Sedovic, of Des Moines, joins us on the podcast to talk about her journey to becoming a published illustrator. Odd Animal ABCs, was published earlier this year (the book was written by June Smalls, of Virginia). During the podcast, Sedovic talks about: On becoming a published illustrator: "It may sound kind of archaic, but one way illustrators get themselves known is that we send out postcards." The "odd animals" she had to research and draw: "The one that immediately comes to mind, because 'X' is obviously such a hard letter to think of things for, is xenops. It's a bird from South America, and it kind of looks like a sparrow... My favorite had to be the tree kangaroo though. It sounds like it's made up, but it looks like a teddy bear." On her decision to quit her full-time job to focus on her illustrating: "This was something I had been passionate about for awhile, and it came to the point where there just was never going to be the 'right time' to leave that job and leap into this career. I just had to make the decision to do it, and I've never regretted that.
