One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first live musical performance I ever saw was Daft Punk's 2007 tour in Berkeley, California, USA. It changed my life forever, showing me how beautifully film, music, technology, and so much more could be combined.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite young and have a lot to learn so please feel free to enlighten me. That being said, a positive outlook on life and kindness to those around me have carried me very far. The world is strange and sometimes harsh but our outlook is always under our own control. Positive energy really does have an effect.
