I think it’s super important to go out there and try things when you’re young or new in a field. You need to have that fire inside of you. It’s okay to fail sometimes—but fail forward and do it again. Being young and foolish and driven is a beautiful thing.

Source of inspiration: “Like many people, I’m a fan of Gary Vee. There’s a quote from him that lives inside my head: ‘Give value, give value, give value—and then ask for business.’ Casey Neistat is also a big source of inspiration for me. He’s a great storyteller and I admire the way he mixes his personal stories with video knowledge.”

Publication or resource: Social Media Today. “I really like the website—I spend a lot of time there.”

Industry event: Adobe MAX – The Creativity Conference. “I love Adobe events, and I usually pick out the parts that focus on updates regarding Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects.”
