What sparks your creativity?
Meeting anyone with a hybrid sensibility, like these folks I met recently: a mother who became an organic farmer, a pediatrician who is a banjo player and folk dancer, and a premed student who is going to culinary school.
Give us an example of a creative output that you’re particularly proud of.
Bringing Wishful Thinking Globescouts together for a virtual brainstorming session.
What was one of the best meetings you’ve ever attended? What made it so great?
One where the clients really started to see opportunities through a consumer lens.
What recently sparked your curiosity and how did you satisfy it?
Seeing the Orozco exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. His work made me appreciate the sandscape and the debris in Tulum Mexico in a whole new way. And he inspired me to take some photos that I love.
