Quotes:
It's cool to be on the radar of people like that without having had to put in 20 years’ time to get to interact with them.
It's very empowering you're able to do the two things you need to do to get the project off the ground. It's a great vibe of being self-reliant.
I just kind of tenaciously kept that vision alive until it was like an actual product.
You are the jet fuel, we've built the jet, and you are the fuel and let's go!
(I am) exciting to help make the tools that you enable people to create the art they want to create
