WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
My community! I am so lucky to live in Portland and go to Portland State where the design community is so intertwined with school and is available as a resource and guiding light.
IF THERE WERE NO BARRIERS AND CONSTRAINTS, WHAT PROJECT WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK ON?
I would love to design a hotel from the graphics to the furniture, to the physical space. I love the idea of touching everything from the architecture down to a matchbook or room key.
WHAT ARE YOU READING/LISTENING TO/WATCHING?
I listen to podcasts while I work which really keeps me moving. My new favorite is: Did I Do That with Sean Schumacher. The podcast features different designers talking about the mistakes they made along the way.
