There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

There are days when I'm an early bird and times when I'm a night owl...
and sometimes, the candle burns at both ends.
My process is to take in data (from research, technical specs, a myriad of computer-driven acronyms) while paying attention to details (like tone, look, feel), then communicate and collaborate in order to create.
An early entertainment diet of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me (NPR), NHL (Devils, Rangers) and The X-Files has been enhanced by all things Star Wars, Lego®, Lore (podcast) and the Seattle Kraken.
Along the way, I've picked up the violin, cameras, microphones, and paint brushes (inspired by Prendergast's watercolors or works in oil by The Eight).
And at my core I'm all noodles and bao, which is why I run and have completed 3 marathons (hoping to complete a few more) along with dozens of 5-10K's (for events and charities). It's not about the "runner's high" or due to natural athleticism (I fail to possess any)-- it's purely for the carb loading and post run boba.
As much as I enjoy screens of all types (IMAX down to the iPhone), my mantra is "Before you stare, get some air"... which is why every day starts with a dog walk and most weekends include a hike.
