"Being innovative isn’t as much a quirk nowadays as much as a necessity."

Connie, interviewed for Dazed and Confused

I like this idea as I think it taps into something very important for my generation. Specifically, there is a greater emphasis on creating and implementing your own vision rather than working through others’ models. The internet, as I’ve often said before, is the great equalizer, allowing individuals or groups to come together to create in a manner never seen before. It is inherently DIY, allows ample opportunities and platforms to be used and manipulated with, and requires the user to think outside of the box to be heard among the glut.
