What is your favorite type of art to create?

There is something incredibly freeing about expressive art. When you move away from rigid grids and perfect symmetry, you get to tap into raw emotion and movement. It feels less like "building" a design and more like capturing a feeling. Since you lean toward that style, here are three directions that really celebrate that energy: Neo-Expressionism: Think bold, aggressive brushstrokes and high-contrast colors. It’s perfect for projects that need to feel visceral and human rather than digitally

Where do you find inspiration?

There is something incredibly compelling about taking a "dated" aesthetic (like the bold gradients of the early 2000s) and applying modern, clean layouts to make it feel fresh again. Nature and Mathematics: The Fibonacci sequence in a seashell or the color palette of a bruised sunset offers a level of organic balance that is hard to replicate purely by logic. Minimalism vs. Maximalism: I find inspiration in the tension between the two.

What would you do with $25,000?
