About

"As a creative, you want to always be growing. I'm always putting myself in situation where i'm not the smartest person in the room or I don't understand what's happening is the way that so much creativity and so much human growth comes from being completely uncomfortable but working very hard." https://medium.com/@ruveydakardelcetin https://github.com/KardelRuveyda kardelruveyda.com
