What does it mean to Kelsey to Live Creatively?
“I think curiosity is the number one way live creatively. No matter where you’re at in your career…come to the table curious, eager to learn. You have to live curiously in order to live creatively because the second you think you’ve got it all figured out…you’re missing it! So, to be creative is to be curious and to explore and to let things flop and to have conversations with people you disagree with…And so, I think just approaching life with curiosity will take you far in the creative space.”
