Interview

2 questions

› What is your favorite item in your workspace?

Probably my window, which floods my workspace (aka the corner of my living room) with light in the afternoon.

› How do you spark creativity?

Go for a walk, take a shower, and otherwise try to distract myself from the task of being creative.
