Millennial; freelance; unmarried without kids or pet

“I’m all about togetherness! Whether I’m hitting the gym or crushing a new project for a client, I’m at my healthiest and most productive when I’m surrounded by the positive energy of others.

In our coworking space, I can get feedback and support from other artists in my building. There are so many chances to collaborate and grow, and with our presentation space, I can even share my skills with others who want to learn about the joy of painting.
