A word to define what kind of worker you are :
Constancy
What tools are essential to your life (app, software, etc..)
I can not work without listening a movie ( a movie I’ve already seen ) so my first super tool is my iMac. Actually there are many tools but the hands and gouges are the most essential otherwise my style could not be created.
What does your office space look like?
I work in my bedroom, it’s a very small space 3×3.5 m ( cozy ) and my work station is a desk.
What kind of music do you listen when you are working ?
Depends, if I’m modeling or sculpting I prefer to listen to pianists, when painting I go with rock, if I’m creating clothing and accessories I go with movie soundtracks.
Do you have a way to organize your day to maximize your work ?
Not really. I have 2 jobs so the hours are pretty tight. 8:30 am to 6:00 pm with advertising and 8:00 pm to 3:00 am creating toys.

Keep the work area tidy.
