creative director + writer at Orchard Creative, NYC.
In middle school I so badly wanted to be a taller basketball player that I pitched to my parents, in earnest, a website for One Hundred Percent Totally Legitimate Growth Hormones™. They did not bite, I had to continue being "the scrappy one" on the team, and my career of presenting acclaimed, thumb-stopping ideas began.
Another little ditty is that I like to make maps of where I've been and where I want to go. It's kind of like journaling and manifesting all in one. Plus coordinates. My favorite is adding to this one.
