Where did you grow up?

I was born in a suburb of Boston. Moved to Charlotte, North Carolina when I was 4 and now live in New York City.

Do you have any routines or something you do everyday?

Meditate, journal, and dance. Move my body.

How do you take care of your body?

Sleep, water. Occasionally I will treat myself to a good meal, like ordering dinner.

Favorite spot to go in the city:

Probably the piers. Any of the west side piers.

Favorite clothing staple:

Cargo pants because I love all the pockets. I can keep so much stuff with me and they are just convenient.

If you could only wear one type of jewelry, what would it be?

It would have to be some type of earring.

What inspires you right now?

Going to see shows in the city. I've been seeing a bunch of different music shows and some dance. I’m trying to see more drama.

What do you like to draw the most?

Self portraits.

Favorite new hobby?

Making comics and doing more narrative drawings, instead of abstract stuff.

Top 3 songs at the moment:

That is so hard. I have so many in my rotation right now.

1. Massaging Me by Future

2. A Thousand Tongues by Missy Mazzoli

3. Fade to Grey by Visage

What is your favorite and least favorite part about living in New York:

Favorite part would be accessibility and just getting to observe so many different types of people. Least favorite part is the noise.

Something you’ve found in New York?

There's a black cat in our alley that lives there so I go see it sometimes. It doesn't let people near it but I'll go and talk to it because it's vey vocal. If you talk, it will talk back, but it wont let you near it at all.
