Advice for young creatives? When you’re thinking about where to apply for jobs consider more whom you will be working with than where you will be working. You can find lots of amazing talent outside of NYC, too. You should be looking to land somewhere where you will possibly find a mentor.

What’s on your bucket list for 2023? Take more time to step away from the screen and find inspiration offline, learn new things, and work on projects outside of my comfort zone
