Clarity is Kindness, and empathy is everything.
I believe that the best work comes to the surface when your heart is in it — when you put enough love into the work. I haven't always done that, but I am learning to trust my gut when I make things — to have a heart when I'm working. The journey has really just begun.
Circa 2018, the projects that'd I'd like to get involved with are those that focus on other people, simply that. I want to work collaboratively while doing these projects — I want to be a part of a team. What I'm doing doesn't matter much to me in comparison to who I am doing it with and why I am doing it in the first place, if that makes sense (I hope it does, I read it somewhere).
