Describe your work in one sentence:

Vibrant typographic messages brightening the street.

Why do you do it?

It's a mixture of compulsion and joy and a part of who I am.

What keeps you going (what’s your GRIT)?

I want to make painting in public spaces more accessible for underrepresented people, besides that the thrill of painting on a huge scale.

What advice would you give to somebody wanting to become a ‘creative’?

Try a few different things and see if anything inspires you. Remember that creativity isn't just art related - it's music, theatre, even science, etc.

Tell us something unusual about yourself.

I travel to European theme parks when I can to ride roller coasters, they're my not-so-secret hobby.
