The experiences he's designed for brands like Glossier, Calvin Klein, Dior and Raf Simons are indeed transportive yet grounded in community and location. After admiring his designs and appreciating a few of them in person, we were curious about the mind behind the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What\u2019s the best compliment you received recently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A friend texted me and thanked me for being a really great friend, and I think that\u2019s one of the best compliments you can get (and give)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What\u2019s the last thing you read?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read an extremely sad book called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/31574750-the-end-of-eddy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\"The End of Eddy\"<\/a> by Edouard Louis.

I tend to read more than one book at once because I have a short attention span and need to jump between genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">A quote that\u2019s meaningful to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left is-style-default\">\u201cSay it, forget it.
