A little bit about M.E. (my.experience.)

My roots.
Hometown: White Rock/ South Surrey
School attended: Ryerson University
Program: Fashion Design
Approximately how many classes I slept through: No idea, maybe 10 - 15 a year? I don't think I skipped that many classes, maybe I did, I don't know... But most classes were just so boring!
Favourite crunch-time snack: I actually don't eat during crunch-time too much distraction and too much effort.

Why I’m cool now.

Cubicle, desk or office: I guess my office is my living room.
Favourite song to get you pumped for work: Metric- Sick Muse
What’s interesting about what I do: Getting inspiration from a variety of sources.
What I love about this job: Be as creative as I want, plan my own schedule, not having a boss.
Work I would prefer to give to the intern: I prefer to do things myself since I am really anal with everything.

How can you be as cool as me?

Closing statement: Follow your passion and do what you love.
