What do you like the most about the design process?
The writing out part. It’s another world I can go to to escape from reality.
What do you look to for inspiration?
I’m extremely interested in Greek mythology and I love retellings of Greek stories, the ideas that formed Like a Light were from these stories.
What is the most challenging part of designing in your world?
Having the time to write because I just get so busy. I don't have time to write and sometimes it stresses me out more than it makes me happy.
What experiences have you had as a result of working through this design process with projects at Darlington or how has it benefited you?
For me, writing has really been a creative outlet. It gives me a place to go when life gets a little too stressful. [Writing] has been one of my favorite things to do since I could pick up a pencil and write.
