We had the good fortune of connecting with Cyni Halle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cyni, what do you want people to remember about you?
One of the main things I want people to remember about me is the love I had for the whole world and how I wanted everyone to be heard. I create art that can speak for people that struggle speaking up also bring awareness to different real live situations people sometimes forget about. I want people to remember me as the person that always wanted to teach someone and listen!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
An easy description for what I do I would say I am a creative director. I push out art through digital projects and events targeting different audiences. I think what set my art apart from others is that I speak on real life situations through fashion ex: I bring awareness to mental health through directing a photoshoot all about different types of mental health. I try to speak to the people that understand things visually with something that is also captivating. It took faith to get to where I am now. I didn’t know where I was going with my creativity but I had to believe there was a way for me to apply my art to the world. When my art is being looked at I wanted people to remember that they are not alone. We are all experiencing this life for the first time so live it up to the fullest and be nice to yourself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would start the day off with breakfast because I cannot live without eating soon as I wake up. We will start each day with giving thanks to being able to experience another day. Then, I would like to take my friend to all of my favorite parks in the area. Where I have the most fun is either the park or beach so we’ll definitely go to the beach as well. For a night out I would love to enjoy an art show or networking event with more friends. Before the weekend is over it a must that we either go to a dance party or have one at home!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I give thanks to God for giving me all of my talents and guiding me in the best path for my life. Also a huge shoutout to the lessons I’ve learned through different experiences that has built me in so many ways. Without my “failures” I wouldn’t be able to grow as much as I am. I have to remember there’s always room for improvement which is what pushes to me keep going! Last but not least I need to thank my family and friends for always supporting me through my journey!
