🌿 I recently hosted my very first webinar, and it was anything but typical! There were no lengthy portfolio walkthroughs, leadership theories, or Figma tutorials. 🙅‍♀️

Instead, I explored a more organic topic: how nature shapes and inspires my creative process each day. ✨ Through experiences like cycling adventures and mindful moments outdoors, I demonstrated how immersing myself in nature fuels my imagination and sparks new ideas.

This webinar isn't just about my journey; I want you to walk away with a renewed sense of curiosity and an encouragement to explore how the outdoors can enrich your own creative process. 🌳

What's the best thing if not giving back to the design community what I've learned and discovered during my design career? 🌟

I had a lot of fun answering some great questions for this interview, but it also turned out to be the perfect moment to pause and reflect on everything I've experienced and shared: from my creative journey to projects that sparked joy and inspiration, it's all in there!
