I was lucky to be young mother and work all the way. My daughter always kept me grounded on what’s important, a supportive husband has kept me stable and supported me throughout. I have always had a home to come back and recharge. I have suffered stress and politics and deception as any other natural leader, but I have seen success, growth and rewards. So life balances up when you have a strong core in your personal life and when you have the vision to see what is next, a purpose, if not nothing makes sense. Always look for a goal, for a dream, for a passion and they will give you the strength to continue.

10 Tips That Will Make You Influential In Your Career By Volunteer Work | DMACDigital Media Arts College
http://www.dmac.edu/ | Boca Raton, FL | According to the United States Department of Labor there are approximately 204,850 graphic designers and motion graphic designers across the nation. A good majority of them are earning around 40K per-year. That being said, the competition may be fierce out there. The best and hardest working will always stand out. However, it seems that in order to get hired by a big design firm, ad agency or gaming house, you must have experience. If you’re just completing college, you have probably undergone some type of internship work, that should suffice for most employers. But, if you want to stand out to an employer, be creative, and think outside the school!

This is my painted picture for Meme & Co for the year 2018. It is a manifesto for my business and brand, 3 years from today. By releasing it publicly, I am holding myself accountable in order to make it my reality.
I have over 18 years experience in sales, marketing and advertising, I climbed the corporate ladder and was committed to my career but my priorities changed when I had my children. My life became a struggle, trying to find a balance between wanting to retain my worth and independence in the workforce without compromising my ability to be a present and attentive mother. I found myself working in an intimidating and ultimately soul-destroying environment. It stripped me of my self esteem and my confidence; it was the strength of my children and the support of my husband that gave me the resolve to be resilient, to stand up for myself and stand up for my values. With a strong resolve never to go back to the corporate world as I had known and through commitment, perseverance and a passion to succeed, I found as one door closed behind me other doors opened in front of me.
It was this journey that gave me the motivation and the drive to create an opportunity for other women who want to be in control, who value their independence, who want to be empowered. My drive to keep a balance between work and my family life ultimately resulted in `taking a leap’ into the unknown and embarking on a personal journey of self reflection, new challenges and personal growth.
The name Meme & Co came from the name my son William use to call his sister Aimee when he couldn't pronounce it properly `Meme'. The Co represents William, my other daughter Jessica and my husband Tim. On a business level the Co represents all the partnerships connected to the company that Meme & Co has been built on.

My name is Cecilia Zalazar I am the Chief Creative Director with a large corporation.
I became the Chief Creative Director, head of the Creative Department as the result of a long career path and organic
growth from Designer, to Creative Director and then Head of department this involved a lot of hard work and
countless hours and a lot of “yes, we can do it”.
I manage a team of 25 print and web creatives including designers, art directors, creative directors, traffic,
production, photographers and digital retouchers. I am in charge of conceptualizing campaigns and photo shoots for
the portfolio of brands. We also create packaging, print ads, POP, and virtual content for websites and social media.
There is not really a routine to my role, while in the office I meet with the marketing and sales teams to receive briefs
of projects, brainstorm with my team and create assets. I spend more than 30% of my time travelling for photo shoots
and showroom setups.
As far as my career goes I have no regrets, I have taken every opportunity that was presented to me and move always
forward. I don’t believe I could have done things at a slower pace; it’s just not in my nature as I am very passionate.
When I was young I wanted to be a fashion designer, started architecture and end up majoring in graphic design. I
still love all of the above and I wish I had many lives to experience them all. But I am still young and one day I will
have my own brand that will encompass all of my passions, a brand that today is my blog ellauniverse.blogspot.com
Being responsible at a very young age has been my motor and my challenge. I am an entrepreneur and leader by
nature, so I believe that the best of me is yet to come. Being a woman in a still male dominated world is a challenge
that we all encounter and I am not the exception. I am currently writing a book about Creativity and Women and the
race to the top. Today amazing hyper-creative women struggle to get to the top, only 3% of Creative Directors are
Women. I want to help change that, and with my already registered book: The Creative Btch I am going to explore
the difficulties and walls the creative women has to literally knock down to move forward. You can follow my
progress while I write my inspirational book on Facebook and Twitter.
I have accomplished a lot, survived many battles to create an inspiring environment for my team of creatives. We just
won 2 awards this year and there are more to come. So I rate myself a 9+ for advanced difficulty and not a 20 how it
should be, as I always want to find more room for improvement and I challenge myself to constant learning.
Secret of my success? Passion, talent, resilience and self assurance. Without these four pillars you can’t get to the
other side. It’s not about one battle is about every day, every challenge, every person.
I was lucky to be young mother and work all the way. My daughter always kept me grounded on what’s important, a
supportive husband has kept me stable and supported me throughout. I have always had a home to come back and

2. recharge. I have suffered stress and politics and deception as any other natural leader, but I have seen success, growth
and rewards. So life balances up when you have a strong core in your personal life and when you have the vision to
see what is next, a purpose, if not nothing makes sense. Always look for a goal, for a dream, for a passion and they
will give you the strength to continue.
Women are nurturing and natural mentors. As men have been hunters for a long time, we have been raising the
future. So use that to your advantage, create your own management style from your feminized strength and go for it.
We can multi-task and produce at a higher rate, we are stronger than what we think and what society imposes us. So
let’s break the mould of what was before, it’s dated, it’s obsolete, we are the next big thing in management and
leadership. So own it with stilettos and spikes.
What inspires me to do this job every day? My passion for what I do. I love design in all its expressions and I find
inspiration in the people behind the stories of design. I learn from the masters, I learn from their process as I want to
become one myself. So master your passion and you will be happy.
For young women entering the creative field my advise is always say “yes” and you will figure out later how to do it.
Believe in your talent and work very hard. Many less smart and talented people have done it before. So believe in
yourself and commit to it. Learn from the seniors and respect their path. They have been there and done that, so take
the most you can from them. If they see your passion they will help you because it reminds them of themselves at
your young age. They will mentor you, so be always very thankful and kind, because they are not obliged to do it.
And dream BIG whatever that means to you, but always BIG!
No matter where you are in your life, employee or starting their own business be yourself always, be the professional
you want to be from the very first day. Keep yourself updated, research, learn. And aim high while doing your job
and take any opportunity that comes your way. The doers do, the rest just watch them do. The choice is yours!
For my legacy self inspiration (is the only motor in your life, you), example of resilience and unstoppable passion.
There are still various projects that I have to give birth to, and they will be my true legacy: my book series and my
lectures to young creative women, and of course, my experience brand Ella Universe. I already have a legacy to
leave: I was able to be a loving and caring mother while having a successful career, and my legacy has a name and is
making a path for herself today. That is a true accomplishment, the rest will be icing on the cake and I am going for
the whole party.
“Don’t be delicate... Be Vast and Brilliant” _ unknown author. The author should be every woman that reads this
quote. So go and take what is yours, whatever makes you happy, but remember what is most important don’t lose
yourself in the process. Always be the best version of yourself.
