~ I haven’t sunk it in yet, but I try not to feed my impostor syndrome. Instead, I focus on being proud of what I’ve achieved and the people I’ve helped along the way.
~ Mentorship has been a journey where I not only help others but also gain perspective on myself and my work. It’s a transfer of knowledge and experiences that challenges and inspires me.
~ When everything fell apart last year, I remembered a friend's advice: 'Do something for somebody else.' It changed my perspective and gave me purpose during difficult times.
~ The way we interact with technology is going to change drastically. It’s no longer just about screens; it’s about creating experiences through voice, augmented reality, and more natural interactions.
~ Be inspired by what others create instead of feeling afraid or envious of it. Use it to fuel your own journey and creativity.
~ The accumulation of small, meaningful questions over time leads to deeper understanding and better collaboration.
