An photo taken while I was in the studio during my residency in 2023 with my bio listed

Without Ashanti's pivotal color design and editorial wisdom, Wilderness would've been severely lacking in its emotive color choices during the thumbnail stage. To say I highly value and recommend Ashanti's expertise on emotional color is such an understatement.
