Favorite song currently on repeat?
I’ve recently been rediscovering old favorites. There was an indie band called Voxtrot out of Austin TX about 10 years ago that had a lot of buzz. They released 2 amazing EPs, then put out a so-so full length and broke up shortly afterwards. Those 2 EPs (Raised by Wolves and Mothers, Sisters, Daughters and Wives) are my current Fall tunes.

Last thing you Googled?
Outlets in China. I’m traveling to oversee our holiday production and I have so many power adaptors I forgot which was which.
Style icons?
Audrey Hepburn. I like to stick to the basics.
