Welcome to this week’s edition of Wednesday Wisdom, where we spotlight leaders who share their valuable experiences and advice. This week, we’re excited to introduce Andrea Rodriguez, a talented muralist and graphic designer from Colombia who has been making her mark in Canada for several years.

Andrea started her mural journey in 2019, driven by her passion for showcasing the beauty of the Amazon. Since then, she has transformed numerous walls across Toronto, filling them with vibrant and meaningful art.
The Challenges of Running Your Own Business
As a self-employed artist, Andrea often struggles with balancing work and personal life. "Being your own boss means you’re always working," she shares. Sometimes, the hardest part is knowing when to stop and step away from her computer.
Despite these challenges, Andrea has learned the importance of taking things slow and avoiding burnout. Her advice? "Don’t stress—things take time."
The Importance of Branding and Staying True
Andrea also highlights the significance of branding in the creative industry. She emphasizes staying true to your principles, your colors, and how you represent yourself and your work. "Whatever you create, make it unique, and stick to it," she advises.
Her commitment to originality and authenticity is a key part of what makes her work stand out in the competitive world of art and design.
Thank you, Andrea, for sharing your story and wisdom! Your journey is sure to inspire other creatives and entrepreneurs to stay true to themselves and their vision.
