My heart is actually an 80 year old lady. So I like to embroider, or anything with fiber arts.

How do you de-stress at the end of the day?

I do like to read, or aimlessly watch Tik-Tok, but my favorite, is to read reviews on Amazon products. That shit is so damn funny.

What kind of music do you listen to while editing?

Ahhhh!!! My favorite kind of question! Music is my second love. But, Breein do you play an instrument or sing?! No I do not lol BUTTTT I legit could not get through life without my music.

I pout. And then I take my girls out and make them do things I would never have the balls to do with paying clients.

What has been the most difficult part of your creative journey?

Staying relevant while still staying true to myself and my brand. It's an ever evolving career. Just when you think you've got it down, you don't. Something new and cool is out and I just have to remember to never be comfortable being comfortable.

So fun fact about me, I recently had gastric sleeve and I can't really eat pizza anymore but for shits and gigs, lets just say mushrooms because thats who I am as a person
