If I'm not in class, you will find me...

You will find me in a coffee shop. I love a good cup of coffee and to get to know those cozy spaces that complement it. This is where I find myself most productive, it's definitely one of the highlights of my day.

My favourite spots of the summer are Farenheit for their Diablo Brazil bean with chocolate notes, and Found, which is the only place I've come across that handles mocha with dark chocolate.

What are some good podcasts to listen to while working?

Song Exploder and Las Culturistas are two podcasts I enjoy listening to while working. They’re fun and easy to listen to while working away at drawings and models.

What are some good songs or albums to listen to while working? 

When working on studio projects, I tend to get deeply absorbed in an album. I find myself frequently listening to "Adieux au Dancefloor" by Marie Davidson, "Etazhi" by Molchat Doma, "iii" by Badbadnotgood, and "Viva La Woman" by Cibo Matto. (I have a feeling that I will exhaust these albums before the school year is over.)

My favourite class so far has been...

A tough question! I liked studio in first year second semester a lot. Materials, assemblies and techniques was really fun too, and super practical.

Social Chair

What are some songs or albums you listen to while working?

Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE definitely tops the charts for me.  I’ve had this album on repeat for over a year now and it really gets me in the zone while working. Every single song is a hit (not surprised since it is Beyoncé)!

Whether it’s late night in studio or early mornings at the gym this album is great for any moment you feel you need a bit more ENERGY to get you going. If you haven’t already, I definitely suggest giving it a listen!

What are some good songs or albums to listen to while working?

The Köln Concert is one of my favourite music to listen to when I need to focus. It’s a recording of solo piano improvisation by Keith Jarett. I wouldn’t consider myself a piano fan but this one is special. But my latest favourite album, it would have to be Taylor Swift’s Midnights.
