The only way to find your voice is to use it

Unless you are actually a ninja, a guru, or a rock star, don't ever use any of those terms in your bio. Ever.

Nothing is more paralyzing than the idea of limitless possibilities.

If I'd waited to know who I was or what I was about before I started "being creative," well, I'd still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. In my experience, it's in the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are.

Usually, when we talk about creativity, it's about self-expression, which is great, but for work to be art or design, there has to be someone on the other end. The audience makes the work come alive.

Genealogy of ideas. You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see.

The only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.
