1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
My grandmother once said to me “I don’t understand all these people out there trying to find themselves. Life always changes. Look upward. That’s where and who you are right now.†It has always resonated with me. Whenever I’ve wondered where my life will go -- what I should do, I try to find peace. I trust God will guide me there and if I have patience, I will find my way there eventually.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I’m excited by nature and art or a combination of both at the same time. I love to spend time in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota hiking in nature, absorbing the sounds, sights, smells, tastes and more. It’s spiritual and inspiring. When there I ink in my sketchbook, write poetry, and take photos to record my experiences creatively.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
That’s simple! I teach a design course at South Dakota State University. If I could teach anything It would be design, art, photography – something creative. Creativity already lives within individuals. The role as an instructor of any creative medium is to help individuals channel it, bring it out, enhance their process, and find their style.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
If I didn’t know how old I am I would guess that I am 45 – still young but very much comfortable with who I am and what I have accomplished.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
My idea of a fun date night is to go out to eat somewhere where I can get dressed up, have great conversation, and try new things. I like to sample new foods that I’ve never tried before. I’m an adventurous eater!
