>>> The general life details...
Background
I have always been intuitively creative, talented, and altruistic, even from a young age. So of course Graphic Design and Web Design, Nursing, & having a natural proficiency with my hands would be something that I gravitate to and grow passionate about in adulthood. Being a closeted overachiever, I have always pushed myself past regular goals, worked long hours, set high bars for myself, took on extra tasks, and strived to exceed expectations. I excelled in art classes in high school and college, and I knew that I had a creative point of view to offer the world.
Through higher education, I earned a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology, & a minor in Spanish and Graphic Design. I was also able to obtain certifications in Personal Training and Massage... Yet I still did not feel complete, and I knew that I had more to give of myself. Eventually I obtained a Licensure in Practical Nursing. I finally felt fulfilled. I have been nursing for 14 years and I love every minute of it. Yes, nursing is my main career, but I make time for what I love to do.
In 2012, I was finally ready to put all of my creative energy into an online presence, and TaZiyahDesigns.com was originated. I was able to show the world my graphic design skills and creativity through my freelance services. TaZiyahDesigns.com was also a venue for me to express my artisan creativity by offering handmade Graphic T-Shirts, Jewelry, Massage Oils, & Templates. I was also excited to share my travels, my poetry, and my random thoughts in my blog. I was gratified.
After several years of giving my best to TaZiyahDesigns.com, and going through the highs and lows that life presents us, I had to make one of the toughest choices I ever had to make. After a series of unfortunate and tragic events, I made the excruciating decision to retire TaZiyahDesigns.com and reimagine and reincorporate her very essence into ME! On August 2026, JamesHeilman.me was commenced. JamesHeilman.me is the legacy of TaZiyahDesigns and will achieve even higher heights. I speak it into existence.
So yeah, as you can see, I was quite ambitious at one point and time in my life, and here I am years later, still doing what I love to do... same energy, same design aesthetic, same passion, same attention to detail, same commitment to excellence, but a different name. I am still using the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to help others creatively. Honestly, there is nothing else I would rather be doing. Life is good! God is GOOD! So that's my background and I am going to stick beside it.
