Get to Know Me: Growing Up Strange, Leaving Tech for Art, Being a Creative

A little about me. I talk about growing up neurodivergent and the difficulties of not fitting in, finding myself in art school, working in the tech industry, then burning out and changing my entire life, diving into my own creative world and returning with treasure, what I want to give, and the MAGIC I have found in ALL of this. I'm trying to be brave with shining my light and I hope you can, too.

Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to so much of your story. I was pretty quiet but had a small circle of friends. I tried to fit in with the mainstream corporate world but never felt at home there. I feel more myself in my studio creating. Looking g forward to more videos from you. ❤
