How do you fuel your creativity? Do you paint on a canvas or create music in your spare time? Do you like to draw or go for a run to be inspired? If I had one advice to give to you… it would be to keep creating.

Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it’s produced the most extraordinary results in human culture. — Ken Robinson

Growing up I was always creating and surrounding myself with colors.

Throughout school, whenever I was given the opportunity to be creative with free-range, I took the opportunity. Of course, the idea of creating has changed over the last 20 years.

Millennials spend hours in a day consuming digital content. Creativity is no longer just in books, canvas, and music, but its everywhere for us to experience. It’s in the form of tweets, Instagram posts, Snapchats, Youtube; the list just goes on.

I get inspired by many things in my personal life. I like to review videos on Vimeo, swipe through travel Instagrams, visit someplace new, cook a recipe from Pinterest, and create new graphic designs in Adobe Photoshop.
