One thing you'd like to incorporate into your day/week that you're currently yet to? I’m starting to but yet to fully incorporate meditation into my daily routine. I’ve always been drawn to the practice of meditation and the breathing techniques encompassed, so hopefully I continue with the mental exercise.
Nighttime rituals? I start winding down by enjoying a nice hot shower it helps me get all sleepy. I would normally then put some soft music on and wrap myself around Madison, talking about our days while kissing her continuously.
I feel most creatively fulfilled when... Engaged in deep conversations with humans, connecting on a level deeper than the surface. And taking these moments into my practice as a designer.
I'm currently working on... Uni assessments and branding projects for a few clients which is exciting to be apart of.
This time last year, I wish I knew... to take a break, and enjoy a day off cause we all deserve it. I tend to feel guilty when I am not doing something creative all the time, so finding moments throughout my week to sit and relish in doing noting is something I still need to master.
I'm grateful for... My incredibly kind, soft and gorgeous partner, Madison - who forever reminds me to be present.. and the people who surround my life, forever inspiring me, and creating comfort in this strange world.
