My Creative Process

When I start a new project, I focus on the emotional impact I want to create. It's not just about the tools or techniques - it's about telling a story that resonates with people. โœจ

I believe in the power of collaboration and community. Some of my best work has come from working with others who bring different perspectives and skills to the table.

My advice: Don't be afraid to break the rules. Innovation often comes from questioning conventional wisdom and trying something new.
