SHAWN SCOTT

What I didn’t know was how refreshing Shawn was going to be as a fellow creative. We both connect so deeply on the importance of instilling wellness in our everyday approach to creativity while also making conscious efforts to uplift and nurture our creative community.

“we feel a mixture of tired and excited to shift that gear from park to drive as we roll away from a zip code we call home even though our true home has oh so many ever-changing zip codes.
