[Iamthenublack] Amma Adjubi-Archibald of Wedding inspiration blog Beyond Beyond

Introduce yourself

My name is Amma and I am a blogger (Beyond Beyond), graphic designer, stationery designer, and habitual linestepper.

When I started the Beyond Beyond blog it is was in a time before Pinterest and the blog was a great way of bookmarking the things that I loved and saving them in one digital place. Also, I don’t really do 9-5 well; the frustration of constraining my creativity and not being able to follow my artistic bliss, meant that my heart was never in any corporate position that I had. I was always the one glancing furtively from side to side hoping that the boss wouldn’t catch me working on things that had nothing to do with the day job. However, in the land Beyond Beyond I had the chance to run free. Beyond Beyond has now evolved into a well respected blog (I still pinch myself at that fact) as well as it being the home of my social stationery design, it has allowed me to work on lots of beautiful side projects that I would never have been able to get off the ground without this space.

Favourite song lyric

Finding eternity arouses reactions

Freeing excellence affects reality
Fallen empires are ruling
Find earth and reap
Fantastic expectations
Amazing revelations
Final execution and resurrection
Free expression as revolution
Finding everything and realizing
You got the fear

Ian Brown – F.E.A.R

I’m inspired by

music, sound, vision, taste, touch… everything.
