Growing up with ADHD was challenging at times; focusing on things that didn’t spark my interest was nearly impossible. Instead of paying attention in class, I’d be drawing in my books. When the pages weren’t enough, I’d move on to the desk. The feeling I get when picking up a pencil and creating is something I could lose myself in for hours—the one thing that can demand my entire focus with no resistance, like being in a meditative state: calm, focused, and self-reflective.

Fast forward 20+ years, and now I'm doing it for a living.
