Why do you have an interest in the live streaming industry?
Gaming is a powerful way of connecting with new people. Streaming makes it easier to connect with people all over the globe.
What was the moment that made you say to yourself, “I want to be a designer?”
When we realized design has a positive impact on society as a whole. Nowadays people are looking for their places in the world — we need to feel included, we need to have a space for us to fit. We do not always connect with what’s around us. We noticed speaking different languages with visual communication made people feel happy, connected, and confident.
Those are strong reasons to keep pushing forward to cause a positive impact in the world directly from our desktops.
If there’s anything you could go back and tell yourself before starting out in this industry, what would it be?
