world, especially after knowing how completely and utterly settled and content she feels. Now that she's designing, she's throwing every ounce of creative energy into that role. Prior to that, she gave everything she had to the modeling industry. It's little wonder that Vikee held on to this gifted lady following her reign as Spokesmodel.

Working with a team makes each day a little bit easier for an aspiring designer. Vikee forged the groundwork for a successful business. Joining such a business in progress gives new designers time to find their personal aesthetic and how it will mesh with the original basics of the primary owner and designer. A team, just as Vikee had described, makes the whole process easier. Though Vikee had already shared the depth and bredth her team went to in support of her business, Blac went one step further and expressed personal appreciation for Anigma Eulinberg. She also mentioned the skill and artistry of another co-designer for LD, Paris LeShea Cerise.

Everyone wants some sort of recognition when they work for another. Whether it's a 'crown' under which one reigns or a co-designer's position, the time invested has value. Blac stated that she did not ever seek to be 'rich' or financially successful, she's found her work to be lucrative. And just as her employer had responded delicately, showing her personality, Blac did the same when addressing the basic 'how much do you make' question, "Let's just say that since I began to design for LD, I have not had to upload Lindens."

Looking to the future, she's eager and excited about what's next. She enjoys learning new tips and tricks related to design. Firmly believing that anyone can make things happen if they have a passion for it, she shows that in her daily actions.
