A bulb Icon with Blue background for the Philosphy section on Houghton & Mackay My Philosophy
My philosophy is centered on authenticity, and expressing this with flair. Words bring concepts to life, and create new worlds for our readers. I aim to always connect to the root or truth of an idea, a piece of artwork or a concept. Once this connection is established, I aim to showcase this in the most appealing way through the written word. Everything is achievable with focus, dedication and understanding. Writing can be therapeutic and I hope for everyone to experience its benefits.
