Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I think I would like to be one, I love to sew and create new things. I have had experience in hand sewing and have always wanted to sew or design. I have an older cousin who had taken courses in fashion design as she was pursuing that career. This career overall interests me as I also love to draw. I feel that this career would suit my overwhelming mind😄.
