A word to define what kind of worker you are :
Curious
What tools are essential to your life (app, software, etc..)
All kinds of social media, really. And a bit of Photoshop.
What does your office space look like?
I work from home when not on set, and I have a lovely table by the window, overlooking Brick Lane. A bit of random props and print laying around, and a bunch of fresh flowers, always.
