Education
My education was never confined to classrooms. It’s instinct-led, not institution-bound. I understand what institutions expect—and I meet those standards through a discipline shaped by autonomy and intent. I built my foundation through books, tools, language, and creative systems—guided by precision, curiosity, and independence. It’s the kind of education that doesn’t end with a degree.
