Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don’t shy away from telling me what inspired the initial idea. I love stories and knowing the genesis of things.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: Never shy away from experimenting. There are no rules in this game

Q: What's your typical work process?
