GRAPHIC DESIGN  |  PHOTOGRAPHY  |  HEAT PRESS  |   SCREEN PRINTING

Owning my own business without failure is very unrealistic. I began with portrait photography six years ago and yet not a complete success, it did push me to go back to school for graphic design. Which opened so many doors for me as an artist. Today I work for myself and hope to grow within the strong art community we have. Choosing to freelance or run a business as an individual can be challenging without the support of a community that understands those challenges. I am so proud to be from Houston.

I began my career as a business owner, but I developed within a small design company in Houston when I first graduated from the Art Institute. The company was a start-up as well and I would never trade that kind of education for anything. I was challenged daily to learn more, communicate more, and want more for myself. I’ve grown out of my shell and pushed the limits of my skills in order to create in my own way. Now I stand confident that starting a new company that combines all my skills will forever be the best decision for me. I may succeed and fail throughout the many years to come, but I will forever continue to evolve.

I am the owner of Deidre Lee Studio as of January of 2018. I am a graphic designer and a photographer. Being in a creative career truly allows me to bring all my passions into one. My graphic design allows me to create for many different industries and my photography allows me to capture memories that will last. My photography has evolved into a more specific industry this year. Adding equestrian photography is the perfect example of bringing my passions together. You can see my work at www.equinecharm.com.

I enjoy being a business owner for the fact that I can share my skills with so many different people for the sole purpose of creating a connection, seeing the joy in their faces and hopefully inspire them to be creative as well.
