Snapchat drawingsAre you interested in social media success stories? Here's a living your dreams story that should inspire everyone - the living your dreams story of CyreneQ, a modern Cinderella fairy tale. (See: "e;Here's how a 26 year-old is making up to $30,000 per Snap on Snapchat"e;, by Morgan Linton, co-founder of Fashion Metric, November 30, 2016) Creative snapchats & funny snapchat drawings: The next time you are sitting in a long, boring meeting and your mind starts to wander might be the very moment you find your destiny. That is exactly what happened to Cyreneq who began doodling funny Snapchat drawings during a particularly snoozy conference room session. Soon after, she went on to rule that burgeoning social media platform with her Snapchat art and her funny Snapchat drawings. Cyrene Quiamco has become a prominent personality with her creative Snapchats on a social media platform that is designed to make content disappear. Since joining Snapchat, Quiamco (who goes by "e;CyreneQ"e; across most social media) has amassed a following for her whimsical Snapchat art ? from celebrity portraits to collages of Disney characters ? and interactive creative Snapchats. She engages her community with her highly imaginative and appealing art, quizzes, games and questions, transforming a series of short-lived snaps into a conversation. She's also the creator of The11thSecond.com, a blog and community for creators of Snapchat art to share their work off the platform. Award-winning CyreneqQ was recently nominated for the Shorty Award which recognizes the best in social media. Living your dreams - Do what you love: This modern fairy tale story (complete with Disney Princess self-portraits of the artist) starts in the Philippines where her family comes from. Cyrene gets her moxie, drive, spirit of self-invention and incredible work ethic from her mom, whom she counts as a main inspiration to be fearless and go for living your dreams. As she puts it, "e;I've always been an artist ever since elementary school, but I didn't really know how to apply that to the real world."e; How she applied her artistry and originality to the modern world of social media is one of the most fantastic social media success stories of the 21st century.

Before the Timer Started – My Back Story

• Where it all started.

o Born in the Philippines. Limited Opportunities

o Moved to the U.S

o Struggles

o Found out I was good in art during middle school – undefeated annual art contest winner.

o People thought I’d be a starving artist.

o Continued art in highschool – Magnet school and specialized in Art.

o Continued to win art contests.

o Got art scholarships for college.

o Obstacle with low ACT score. Convinced prestige scholars program that intelligence is not based on test. I’ve proven I have it in other places such as art. Was accepted in.

o Experimented with other art in college. Had a few articles about my industrial design of cellphones (Cnet did an article).

o I tried and was professionally paid on some industrial design, 2d animation, graphic design, web design – freelance while I was taking college classes – graduated with 4 different art majors.

o Started off as a cosmetic packaging designer. Did that for 3 months.
