What do you think is one of the biggest challenges for you right now?

Learning how to disconnect! It’s so easy to be overloaded with information whether it's coming from your phone or on the computer.

I think our culture is in a weird place at the moment. Instead of just enjoying something for what it is, we want to know what someone else thinks about it first. It can be difficult to remove yourself and form your own opinions before hearing someone else’s. It’s important to keep an identity throughout all of this information that's being thrown at me all of the time. Work also takes a lot of you. A 10-hour day is standard in the production world and working a 50+ hour week is exhausting. It can be challenging sometimes to just remove yourself from the job. It’s easy for your personal life and your work life to start blurring, which is awesome, but every now and then, when you're not working, you just don't know what to do with yourself.

What would you say is your biggest challenge right now?

My biggest challenge at the moment would have to be the DUST CAPSULE project as that’s where most of my attention goes (aside from the magazine). When I start something new I am always full of doubt, and I know that I have tons to learn, but at the same time, this is the most beautiful part.

You’ve written so many amazing articles, and you're in a really great spot right now, but what do you think is one of your biggest challenges?

I'm trying to be a better writer. I think it's wild being young and writing on the internet because you're learning in public and that's really scary. I'm definitely cognizant of that. When I read my own stuff, I’ll think it could be much better, but it’s reassuring that I’m able to see that. I have so much to learn when it comes to writing, and having good editors helps a lot. I feel just slowing down and focusing and putting effort into one single thing is my biggest challenge.

Since you’ve grown so much while you’ve been at W, is it challenging to differentiate your voice from W’s brand?

Being a good writer means adapting to your publication. It's about taking your voice and then making it work with the voice of who you’re writing for. I've definitely adapted my voice for W; I don't even know if that music thing would've happened if I'd been elsewhere. I'm curious to see what other beats I have in me, and I think that the right publication can bring that out of you.

What is your biggest challenge?

Staying creative. Sometimes it can feel like you’ve already done everything possible, but no. Social media is getting more and more important in the fashion industry, and we’re definitely not the only modeling agency that wants to approach social media in a different way. So I have to stay creative to be competitive. I have to create content that you don’t see anywhere else and that is still interesting for our followers. Nothing lasts forever so I have to find new ideas all the time. So that is my biggest challenge!

What would you say is your biggest challenge is?

I've been at The Cut for almost 5 years, and people in fashion are always looking for the next best thing or publication. But I'm really happy where I'm at, so I think that's a challenge in itself. You have this moment where you're like, "Am I supposed to be changing jobs? Am I supposed to be going somewhere else?" A lot of people work for a magazine for a year and then move on.

What is your biggest challenge right now?

I think my biggest challenge right now is thinking about what publishing looks like if you take away everything that we don’t like about it. You take away pageviews. You take away ads. You take away SEO. What does the perfect website look like? I don't know what that looks like yet but I want to make that.

What is your biggest challenge at the moment?

I want an agency; it’s getting busy. It would just be so great to have someone to fight my corner. I’m definitely lucky in the sense that I get good editorial work, but editorials are expensive. It’d be good to have someone help facilitate with getting more commercial work.

Then what’s your biggest challenge right now?

Going offline. On your phone, you’re constantly bombarded with emails and texts. Also because I work online, you can always edit. If there's some error in the article, we can change it right away. In the magazine, you can't. That also makes people text me in the middle of the night saying, "You need to change this." I used to get a heart attack every time someone did that, but now I'm learning to say, “I'll look at it on Monday morning.” That's definitely a learning process for me, though.
