No More Cubicles: My Corporate Dropout Story

YonBon: Director of Cinematography + Graphic Design & CEO, YonBon Creative Services

In November of last year, I took a huge step into the world by becoming a full-time entrepreneur at the age of 23, right after graduating college. It's been something that I've been wanting to do for as long as I can remember, and made it my goal to become a recognized figure within the creative world.

Before I began my journey, I was working as a graphic design intern at a beverage company, sitting in a cubical all day, completing mindless tasks. At this point in my life, I'd already worked 8 different jobs, all while attending school, and now I was being immersed into the corporate world.

As a creative, it was very discouraging to not have the full-spectrum of creative freedom, knowing that I was capable of producing high-quality work with a sense of meaning. Through my past and current experience at the time, I had yet to work with an established team of talented creatives, which always left me in a position of taking the lead in bringing concepts to life.

I knew I had the talent to satisfy people with my work and teach others my creative process and knowledge. After being terminated by the company, I decided that it was time for me to invest in myself instead of selling my soul to another corporation.

It's definitely been a great and challenging experience to go through my own journey, which is why I'll never look back at a cubical, especially now that I have a team of amazing talent and dedication here at Another Corporate Dropout Agency. I want to leave a crater in this industry and become the reputable figure that I know I can become.

The journey has only begun, let's take those next steps together!
