I grew up enjoying the arts and all things creative, but never found myself considering it as a career path. Due to this, I studied and pursued Psychology in my undergraduate career and an additional three years in psychological research.

1. What's the most courageous thing you've ever done?

2. How are creativity and innovation related?

Both creativity and innovation are about new and exciting ideas coming to life. They involve a similar form of thinking—being able to think outside the box to create different solutions.

3. Why do companies need clarity and creativity?

Companies need clarity in order to have direction. If they do not, then they will not know what the company stands for or who their customers would be. There would be no clear starting point without clarity. Creativity allows companies to be more open-minded and to be able to explore new ideas and options. Without creativity, I imagine a company would be stuck in old-fashioned ideals while the world moves on without them. Ultimately, companies need both clarity and creativity in order to grow.

7. What is the best advice that you have been given?

Fake it till you make it. This statement can seem insincere; however, it helped me to realize that everyone is simply trying their best with what they have and ultimately confidence is key. It was encouraging to hear that if you put in the effort that you will get where you want to eventually.

8. What is your definition of creativity?

To me, creativity is about being myself. It is a value I have always held onto and plays a big role in my identity. It is about expressing yourself and thinking of unique solutions.
