In this episode, I had a catch up with another close friend, Ysh Ramos. Ysh, would describe herself as someone with so many different interests and creative pursuits in life. Taking Communication Arts as a degree, Ysh, pursued photography after her studies but found herself wanting to experience more of the creative career. She now focuses on content planning and creation as she creates YouTube videos, which she would say her creative outlet and also a way to master her multimedia skills, all the while navigating a quarter life crisis and defining what success and happiness looks like. This conversation I had with Ysh is just so raw and unfiltered in a sense that we got the chance to talk about vulnerabilities, reinventions, and just how life could be full of twists.
