So Who is Bliss?
Great question; I’m still figuring that one out.
The skinny is that I’m a creative with a penchant for storytelling. I’ve got a wide variety of skills, but those skills are weak without a thread connecting them— and for me that thread is storytelling.
Stories bind us together and produce strength from weakness, and my story ties together love for music, writing, art, and people.
I was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan to two creatives: A journalist and an abstract artist. I cherish having grown up between the green and the bricks, and I love how historied the city is. Every nook and cranny oozes narrative, and it’s that profound nature of “inherent storiedness” which I have come to respect and emulate.
Not everyone sees things like that, which is why I find joy in helping those folks tell their own stories just like Grand Rapids does: highlighting the small details and stringing them together to tell the larger story. There’s nothing as satisfying as bringing out those inherent traits of a business or an idea and making them cohesive, strong, and respectable with a good narrative. In the end, it’s just tying together the puzzle pieces that were always there!
