Happy 313 Day Detroitš¤
Iāve officially been here just over 10 years now, thatās crazy to say out loudā¦
Iāve got a lot of appreciation for this big small city. Detroit has shown me so much of the world and really empowered me along in my career, giving me perspective and keeping me grounded.
And most importantly, Iāve made friends and family for life in this city.
A lot more to come. Really excited to share new work in 2026.
