Favorite quotes from this talk See all
The world needs more beauty and I think that you have it within you.
Even though you might not know something today, it doesn't mean you won't know it tomorrow.
The one thing that I heard constantly from my friends at the time was, "I can't do that! I'm not crafty!" I am here to prove everyone wrong who thinks that. That is my life mission.
I put myself in this creative rut because I had to, there was no other option, it was my job, I had to do it.
Have you all met someone new here today? Because everyone in this room is creative and awesome!
