What is unique that's not in your bio?
My favorite television show is Arthur.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
Interning at Trend Hunter!
How do you define cool?
All of our definitions of the word are varied so to me being cool is being yourself.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Other than gluing myself to the computer, I usually find trends at random.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
The never ending spectrum of things you can find on the website.
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Be natural and do not overwrite. People usually think that writing a lot means a great post. Stick to the point, be very clear and make sure to get in all the important details.
How do you reset to be creative?
No rituals and no routines, although sometimes I do write down the thoughts in my head because that's when your writing is the most real.
What inspires or excites you?
Originality and innovation excites and inspires me. I find those two characteristics really enamoring. Whether it be pertaining to style, technology, art etc, being original and innovative are always very inspirational.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
Holograms!
