Thanks for checking out my work! Here are a few fun facts for those stickin' around:
I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was 22. It was terrifying to learn but now one of my favorite hobbies.
Mike Perry, Brandon Rike, and Alana Louise inspire me in more ways than one. From their design approaches to their journeys in through their career, I look up to them so much.
I believe we are always learning, and as creatives, we will always be creating in new ways. Embracing the change and collectively sharing each other's successes and failures is the best way to celebrate our growth as artists (hence my social handle, @creating.sydney).
