What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
My favorite thing about my job is working with artists. I love how creative the community I work in is, and it makes every day really fun. It's great to be surrounded by that kind of talent; I appreciate that.
My job is basically making cartoons. If you have the right perspective about it, it's hard to have a bad day when you're making cartoons. It's a really lucky thing to be able to do for your job, and I think many of us in this industry don't take that for granted.
It's very lucky to be able to do something for work that you really care about and that feels like a passion project. The other thing I really like about my job is the instant gratification.
I'm a list-maker and a checker-offer-the-list kind of person. Every day there's something new to do, a task to accomplish, a goal to meet. I find that very satisfying. So those are my favorite things about my job.
