  • "If you could start with a blank canvas, what would your ideal workspace look, sound or even smell like?"

    A place where I can escape into plus at the end of the day that I can escape from. I sometimes find it hard to differentiate between my workspace and living space, especially at college and at home where my desk and computer are only a couple steps away from the bed.

    The specifics — Large desk, cold water to drink, pens, two monitors, music, lots of natural light, tons of books, and something that is modern but has a home-like feeling to it as well.

    People, friends, colleagues and mentors for company, for feedback, for inspiration.

    Plants inside is a pretty big thing too, plus maybe some sort of small outside garden cause computer screens get to be way too much to handle at times.

    And candy, probably gummy bears to act as a reward as certain milestones in the day to day work are achieved.
