3 things I can't live without: Sketchbooks, memes, group chats recs

What's my superpower? Bringing people together 

What do you listen to while creating? I love music! I listen to house, techno, and jazz. A lot of pop when I need to really focus: right now on repeat has been Madonna's Confessions on the Dance Floor II. 

Favorite TV show: Just finished Breaking Bad, that was goood!

What (or who) inspires you? This quote from Aileen Gu: "You can control what you think. You can control how you think. And therefore, you can control who you are"

Advice for young creatives? I've been telling creatives to take negotiation classes and collaborate! Find your a-team, work with people who inspire you; making mistakes is inevitable, and how you work through those is the real artistry!
