/// WHAT’S ON YOUR DESK: My “desk” is my bedside table, which aside from my laptop & phone is covered in knick knacks. Such as: a mold of my mom’s teeth, a compact full of dirt from scotland, an eiffel tower snow globe, my grandfather’s cremation tag, an old broken alarm clock, 3 miniature white rabbits, 2 antique toy guns & photos/keepsake from the mid to late 1800’s. Clearly it’s less of a desk then a collection of interests, but it’s what’s surrounding me as I do the more business side of my work.
