    • Being part of a team is amazing. Just because you're creative doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.
    • More minds are better than one 
    • Your career is about skills, not education - just get that receipt (degree). You have your whole life to figure things out 
    • You are your own definition of success
    • Get out there and do the work. That’s how you really learn. 
    • Be kind and available 
    • Don’t judge a “job” by its cover - judge it by how it feeds your soul and passion. 
    • Real-world experience always plays into your professional work. 
    • When the opportunity presents itself, get in, get messy and just fail until you get it right.
