Hi Victoria,  I am a semi-retired graphic artist who has designed everything from billboards to TV animations to t-shirts to a custom doghouse. I have also written three books and designed an adult coloring book which are all for sale on Amazon.  I have total aphantasia but don't feel it has held me back in any way from my creative pursuits. I do rely more heavily on reference images to spark my initial imagery but, like a jazz musician, I riff off of these elements to make something that is my own in the end. I feel my brain works as a giant web with all of these free-floating concepts connected in various ways, often to multiple other points. This allows my mind to race along from point to point, sometimes zooming off on odd tangents that lead me to especially inventive results. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
