Meet Alaska Humphrey | Graphic Designer, Micro-Influencer, & Tennessee State University Biology Scholar

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alaska Humphrey and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alaska, why did you pursue a creative career?
Hello All! It is always so heart warming to me to be able to briefly share my story and remarkably inspire others. As a young girl, my deep passion for art was always evident, and little did I anticipate that it would evolve into something greater, a thriving business now known as Amore’ Graphics. Reflecting on my journey, it seems that a creative career chose me, and I wholeheartedly embraced and recognized the opportunity to turn my passion into a fulfilling profession; Embracing graphic design became a purposeful investment, leading me to explore a realm beyond my comfort zone. Today, I find joy in pursuing Amore’ Graphics as my creativity continues to flourish, driving my unwavering dedication to do what I love.

To delve deeper into the narrative of my Creative Career, I invite all of you reading this to explore the Memphis Voyager article in which I was prominently featured in 2022 ( https://memphisvoyager.com/interview/conversations-with-alaska-humphrey/ ). My story goes beyond just simply turning a passion into a true entrepreneurial dream!

.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
In the initial stages of my journey, art was simply a casual hobby, far from something I considered pursuing seriously. However, the pivotal moment occurred when I decided to step out of my comfort zone, leading me down both easy and challenging paths. Surprisingly, it was the tougher routes that provided genuine motivation, both personally and professionally.

Delving into my role as the CEO of Amore’ Graphics, my focus revolves around designing a diverse range of marketing and content for various professionals and creators. From lash techs and estheticians to hairstylists, clothing brands, makeup artists, cosmetic lines, real estate agents, educators, and individuals in the music industry, I design with a passion that mirrors my personal commitment. My work reflects a dedication to creating and delivering graphics as if they were my own, a standard that I find particularly impressive and unique to who I am as a Woman in Business. As I have newly launched my website, Amoregraphics.co, I am just simply excited for more to come.

…And as many ask, “What is it like being an entrepreneur?”, the entrepreneurial journey is undoubtedly challenging, marked by life’s inevitable trials and tribulations. Pursuing a creative career as my own business has taught me that setbacks and discouragement are part of the process, yet they serve as valuable opportunities for growth along the way.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Imagining a week in Nashville with my closest friends from back home, I’d commence a day’s worth of plans by indulging in brunch at Roasted Salemtown. This spot not only offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere but also allows them to savor delicious dishes and experience the vibrant culture that I cherish every time I visit. It’s a guarantee that Roasted Salemtown will set the perfect enjoyable vibe!

Following our brunch, a session of retail therapy would await us at the Green Hills Mall because, honestly, no trip is truly complete without a bit of shopping. And to elevate our evening post-shopping, I’d love to treat my friends to a fine-dining experience. Personally always reveling in fine-dining, it feels authentic to share an elegant experience with them, surrounded by quality ambiance at Eddie V’s on Broadway. A stroll through downtown would naturally follow, capturing the true essence of Nashville, resulting in great content and everlasting memories to end off a day in the city.

As a Micro-Influencer and College student who enjoys creating content and embracing my lifestyle, I am always trying to discover new places and find time to enjoy an experience. These are only just a few of my favorite places in Nashville!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wholeheartedly extend my gratitude to my family, friends, loyal clientele, and, above all, God. The unwavering support and love they continually provide have been instrumental in bringing me to this point. Their influence and encouragement has instilled in me the belief that every day presents an opportunity to get up and WIN, regardless of whether the sun is shining brightly or not. I express my love and gratitude to all who have demonstrated and continue to show genuine support for me and all of my endeavors.
