"For creatives, I guess the biggest thing I can say is you need to find stuff that inspires you on a daily basis. I like to surround myself by stuff by kind of inspires me. I always have random shit on my desk or at my house, like I have vinyl figures and a cactus plant, and people are always saying 'your desk is so pretty and cute.' Like even my tattoos, this one is for my mom, but it's also a reminder to be creative. It's important for people to find what drives them, whatever makes them feel like they're in their space. 'Cause I mean, having a job where you have to be creative can be difficult. But surrounding yourself by what inspires you, it lets you own something that is like your happy place, your place that no one else can touch. If I just stare at something that's boring, it doesn't really fill me. Being surrounded by stuff I actually like and going off to like, my virtual world, it's just something no one else can force me to do."
