Journalism has always been a meditative space for me, a place where I condense my feelings about everything from Playboi Carti’s 2015 unreleased tracks, archival Martin Margiela collections, to politics and paint them with words.

From interviewing Billie Eilish at the start of her career to one-on-one phone calls with Oscar-nominated directors, I have been able to formulate feature pieces and show the uniqueness and innate understanding between shining masterminds and me, a post-college student skateboarding her way through life. And attending quite a lot of concerts.
