- One word that describes how you work: Efficient
What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?
- Spotify — I love listening to new and old music and I think Spotify is the best place to do that.
- Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video — I need to keep up-to-date with Queer Eye, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and BuzzFeed Unsolved!
What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?
- Get things done ahead of time then you don’t have to worry about it later on when you have more stuff to do.
What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?
- I am naturally an extrovert and I am able to talk to anyone.
What do you listen to while you work?
- I can listen to any kind of music — except hard metal.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
- To stay true to myself.
Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?
- Taking a nap, usually with my dog Ivar. I always find it refreshing to give my brain a little reboot that way I have a clear head to do what I need to do.
What’s your favorite quote?
"I heard a preacher once say, ‘Sometimes when you’re feeling buried, you’re actually just planted.’” -Bobby Berk, Queer Eye
