Guiding principles
See the world through the eyes of a child. Curiosity is a flame that must never be extinguished because the more you ask the more you learn and the more you grow as a person and as a professional.
Side hustle
Art has always been a passion of mine ever since I was a child; it is a safe space where I can pick up any tool and create whatever comes to mind as a form of meditation. During the week I make time to create digital art and am currently working on a collection to share with the community as a form of encouragement to those who did not go to art school but have a fire in their belly to create art.
