It has to be pretty…but most importantly, relatable and insightful .
Side hustle
In her free time, besides your typical freelance project, you would find her flipping, drawing, or jamming with her little synthesizer. But I am also constantly learning about new fields like interactive installations and sound design with the vision of growing as an audiovisual artist.
