2024: A Year Off Stage to Recharge, Refocus, and Reimagine

2024 was a year of professional growth, creative milestones, and laying the foundation for a promising new venture—Click2View Design.

Last January, I lost my voice. Literally.

For almost a month, I could barely speak—a disaster for someone who uses their voice for a living.

That experience became the catalyst for a bigger decision: to step back from stand-up comedy. After years of juggling late-night gigs with my role as a partner at Click2View creative agency, I realized I needed a break. Burnout was creeping in, writer's block became an unwelcome companion, and performing started to feel like a chore rather than a passion.

Instead, I focused on my dual role as COO and Creative Director at Click2View, navigating a challenging yet transformative year. The highlight? Launching Click2View Design, our in-house motion design and animation studio specializing in high-end 2D and 3D work.

We celebrated some incredible milestones, including winning Gold in the Motion Graphics & Design category at the 2024 Telly Awards and Video of the Day at the 2024 Motion Design Awards.

Our new Behance and Instagram pages have become vibrant showcases of our high-end 2D and 3D motion design work, reflecting the talent and dedication of my creative team.

We also refreshed our branding, which will roll out throughout 2025, marking an exciting new chapter for the agency and the studio.

On the personal front, I focused on nurturing relationships with my loved ones and building a life that balances ambition with well-being. Stepping away from the mic gave me the clarity and space I needed to reignite my creative spark.

Now, as 2025 unfolds, I’m planning to get back on stage. I’m excited to balance my professional growth, personal life, and comedic pursuits in a way that feels sustainable and fulfilling.

To everyone who supported me—professionally and personally—thank you. Here’s to a year of new beginnings!
