Introduction: Tricia as a person...
I've always been a little bit of a Renaissance soul, meaning I have always had passions for multiple interests of study and multiple hobbies to develop. I also have a hard time just niching down on one area of expertise. I'd rather realize that the more I do, I'm genuinely quite skilled at many things at the same time! I'm not writing this to brag or something; of course, I'm realistic enough to know that I'm at a higher level in some of my creative outlets and a lower level in some.
For the work that I offer as a service, I consider myself advanced enough and offer it for professional use, of course. Also, all my credentials and education are available on this site as well, so you can decide for yourself if I'm a good fit for your project(s).
But with that said, though, this is a portfolio with most of my work, so I will show some beginner or intermediate work as well!
About Tricia
My name is Tricia, and I'm based in Gothenburg, Sweden (I also have a Swedish website, if that is what you prefer), and I work mainly online as a freelancer right now. I only work part-time due to disability, but I like doing what I'm doing, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Now a little bit about me... My artist/creative name online is Trix Joyce. From the beginning, it was sort of my music name for when I was going to release my very first music; an album. I had never done that before. This was in 2021. But when I started to release books as well and also do a lot of content creation on YouTube, I chose to stick with the same name to not confuse people with many names.
I have some pen names for my writing still, though.
However, for my portfolio websites, I've chosen to use my real name!
Values
Inclusion, Kindness, Lifelong Learning
Causes I care about
LGBTQ+ rights, Black Lives Matter, and Anti-racism in general, Bodily Autonomy and Pro-choice, Religious freedom - but laws should not have grounds in religion at all, Feminism (I'm an intersectional feminist myself), Disability and neurodivergence equity and equality, Protection and Empowerment for the most unfortunate in society - yes I'm a Socialist because everyone should have the right to survive and live who has been born into this earth!
Mission
My mission is to share creativity with the world and to show that neurodivergent people are capable of doing wonders if they only get a chance and if they get to thrive in the correct environment!
I'm autistic, and I don't shy away from telling you that in fear of losing clients. It's not a flaw, it's what makes me the person I am.
I want to show that disability is not a weakness; it's something that can make you think outside the box. And that's exactly what you need to be creative!
Current studies
* Graphic Design (grafisk formgivning) at MediaKurser & Nordic Tech Institute, Sweden - Vocational/associate's degree.

* Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (training/specialization) at Distansinstitutet, Stockholm, Sweden - Vocational/associate's degree.
All my ongoing studies are distance and just part-time, that's how I manage to study several programs and degrees at the same time!
