“I believe creativity is like a muscle. Lots of people think they aren't creative, and I don't believe them. There's something about the 'adulting' process that seems to leave creativity and the bravery that comes from it behind. Creative problem solving is a vitally important skill in our society. I feel like every time I refashion a gothic-dress, I'm solving a problem, and that's an incredibly rewarding and empowering feeling. Solving small problems (like refashions) helps to train our brains to look creatively at larger problems and solve those as well. The thing I like most about creativity is its power to solve huge problems and affect positive societal change. It all starts with small baby steps.”
