What is unique that's not in your bio?
I would pay good money to have an accent, or at least be able to do a good fake one. Preferably British.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
The 3 million+ views on my Trend Hunter portfolio!
How do you define cool?
I feel like if it could be easily defined it wouldn't be coveted. Cool is in the eye of the beholder.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Hunting for them at 3 am. Trends don't sleep and I'm lucky we have that in common.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
When you see the number of views on a freshly posted piece. Whether it's 10 or 10,000, knowing there are total strangers I can inform or intrigue with my writing is super cool.
What is your favorite trend?
I've had tons of favorites from the Ultra Luxury category but I always come back to the poetic 52 Reasons To Love Bacon.
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Anything that falls into the Sex or WTF category somehow always seems to end up as a success. Puns in the subtitles always draw me in.
How do you reset to be creative?
Power-naps and PostSecret.
What inspires or excites you?
Slot machines and getting the straight piece in Tetris.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
That we will be 8 long and prosperous years in to proving those glass-half-empty and apocalyptic-propagating Mayans way wrong.
