Three years ago,
I sold everything I owned to travel and free my mind.
Now, I try to bring that same thinking in as a creative.
Cutting through the unnecessary, the optics, the old and redundant – and bringing it back to the heart: back to the humans.
Not faces on a screen, not avatars, and not numbers (although numbers are great to have!)
It starts and ends with humans.
And when you honor that… real life magic happens.
