Over the years, my creative practice has evolved past what I could have imagined when I began my career in the early 2000s. The most significant shift has taken my practice beyond filmmaking and writing, which was a key focus for the majority of my professional life. Accidentally, many of the artistic and creative habits…

Decluttering Your Inner Creative Space
When I think about decluttering, I usually think about my physical space and the objects that my space is filled with. When my physical space overwhelms my senses, I get the urge to clear as much as I can. Removing the excess clothing, books, and little knick-knacks that gather dust has always been relatively easy…

My 30 Days Blogging Challenge
My 30-day blogging challenge has ended, and I’m happy to report that I haven’t missed even one day. I have learnt a ton and had fun having this daily task: to produce a blog entry every day. In the past, I used to write my blogs for several days, but now I think it is…
