What does The Spark Chaser mean?
You are perpetually lit. You chase sparks — the new idea, the unexpected collaboration, the creative risk no one else would take. And you have a gift for making that energy contagious. People want to be near you when you're working on something because it always feels like something is about to happen.
You have never had a problem being interested. The real challenge has been choosing. You have too many ideas, too many directions, too many things you want to make. This abundance is real creative wealth — and it requires curation.
You are at your best when you're in early stages: the spark, the concept, the "what if." You bring others along for this ride with an ease that can feel effortless but is actually a sophisticated social skill.
