Album you need to listen to while cooking: Historian by Lucy Dacus

What inspires you? So much! A big one is listening to other creatives speak about their work. Also including, but not limited to: 70's psychedelic type, band posters, letterpress & risograph prints, Sylvia Plath's poetry, and retro color palettes.

Creative crush: Kristin Eddington. She absolutely killed it when she worked at Bon App, and I still have a ton of screenshots of her work that I pull for inspiration.
