This was so helpful! Attention to detail like the hotel ashtray is exactly how my mind works, it got me into trouble in the commercial design world lol
This was inspiring. She had such great stories to share!
glad to hear you liked it as much as we did!
the music is a bit distracting on this video but she has great things to say
So inspiring loved the video
Great storytelling, thanks!

Verbal salad!
no way you are going to be a PD and she’s certainly not going to tell you!
I went through an Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance degree in uni, which I think would help, but I haven't been able to apply what I've learned yet because I am stuck in a 9 to 5 right now 🙃🫠
