I decided to take my casual sketching and character design habit and see if I could turn it into something full-time.

I’ve always wanted to go to Japan. And when I say that, I mean it—I refuse to die before setting foot there.

For me, it’s all about one thing, travel. And not just the casual weekend getaway, but the full-on, life-altering, every-corner-of-the-world kind of travel.

When I started this journey, I thought, “Alright, cooking’s the thing. If I can master that, then I’m on my way.”
