With so many years of learning and learning the hard way.. I've wanted for so long to create a place and space I could give my past self (the dreaming artist) insight and direction.
To create a light in the darkness of the industry and encourage confidence as well as learning connecting over competition.
My dream came true and now it's your turn, but in wayy less time!
I know for a fact you WILL succeed, and the one thing I'm excited most about, is seeing you on the other side of this, living in what was once, just an idea.. a dream of something that you didn't let the fear of failure stop you from achieving. Knowing I got to be apart of the beginning of something truly amazing is the biggest reward for me.
Now let's make it happen Rockstar!
With light
