"Living with intention feels like it's about directing your energy and where you, 

where you use, right? 

And where we focus it. 

I go through different times where I'm kind of dispersing my attention to lots of different things and running around and taking in lots of different things. 

And then I come back here and I kind of go inward, try to make sense of things and connect things that just pops up, you know. 

Living with intention, yeah, it comes down to living a long with your values, but also for me, being really grateful for every moment you get."

"I think a physical practice like yoga and meditation is really big for me. 

Just spending time outdoors on my own in nature. I also think music is a, it's a sort of anchor. 

Even the daily small rituals like you know, putting on the incense or, um, watering your plants or, you know, it's very simple. 

It's the tiny tiny things really, yeah, I believe in life, it's everything has like, it's the visible, but it's also the invisible part."

"It's weird. Those words just I hear them. I'm like okay uh, I have to make them real. 

Says words, but it's also colors. I'm like super inspired by different color combinations.

Usually the words come first. I hear the words usually and I kind of see how they how I, how I'm gonna make them in my mind's eye."

"This is easy to always be working because I don't really separate like my normal life and my working life. 

Everything is everything, very much, which I love. It's more about protecting your attention than, more than anything. 

I know I'm so much happier when I'm offline. It's funny where you feel inspired. 

And when you feel inspired, the love with living here is that it's quiet enough for yourself to hear your own voice and to have space to create.

I think sometimes in a big city, it's like there's so much pulling on your attention. 

But here, at least for me, I found a sort of calm. "

"You know, ambition is almost like dirty word. 

When I say artist, you're either you're charging too little, or you're charging too much, or you're trying too hard, or you're not trying to enough. 

You know, it's really hard to find a balance. But end of the day, you have to please yourself first and create things you believe in. And it's also a really long game.

I imagine, hopefully, that I will do this my entire life. Not necessarily embroidery, but, you know, making art. 

And I think that's my core ambition, being able to just create the things I want as long as possible."
