On the off chance that you've never listened to a podcast or don't get why anybody would want to, here are some facts: (1) Podcasts are convenient. It's a recording that is available to you whenever and wherever you'd like to listen. You can pause, stop, start, fast forward, and rewind. Stream it through Apple Music or any podcast service. (2) Podcasts are great for listening to while making art. They provide intellectual stimulation and create a bit of company (like hanging out with friends) without the visual distraction of the TV. (3) Podcasts can inspire and educate you. I often find myself jotting down notes when I listen to a podcast. There's so much I want to remember.

After 10 years, she decided she wanted to make more pretty things and left for the life of a visual content creator and prop stylist...
...which landed her a job at Oh Joy!...
...where she was the Creative Content Director and Stylist for the past 7 years.
Today, she's a mom of two young kids (Zealand and Bodhi), mama to a frenchie named Tuna, married to her husband Dave, living in sunny LA.
