In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
When I am bereft of joy or hope, it is nature that is able to stir up desire, inspire awe, galvanize the momentum needed to build something better. The ultimate lesson in perspective.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
It means to prioritize the fleeting inconveniences of being in community over the ease and order of being on one’s own.
