Q+A

Why is it important for people to have art in their home or life?

So that you may learn empathy for others with alternative perspectives from your norm. It allows us to better ourselves as humans and creates space for knowledge.

What do you listen to when you work?

It depends on what I am creating. I think it is important to set the atmosphere for yourself and others around you. If we're trying to capture a heartbreak, I want everyones sad music in a complied playlist. If you're in your feelings, we are all in our feelings.

Favourite book

Any book written by Sarah J. Maas. She projects the reader into a new dimension filled with fantasy that keeps you at the edge of your seat. An amazing break from reality.

Coffees per day and from where

I love the taste of coffee and the idea of making/drinking it, but I never finish my cup. There will always be just a little bit left.
