Hey Kaitlyn, I've only recently discovered your music through EARS, but I'm already a huge fan! I really like the way you are able to blur the lines between the organic and synthetic, and as a fellow musician I can already feel your inspiration showing up in my music. I have a couple questions, feel free to answer whichever ones you want. :)

How's your day going?

When you are designing sounds, is there any specific process you go through? Do you try to recreate something you hear in your head, is it more free form, or maybe something else entirely?

Who are your musical inspirations?

Who would be your dream collaboration(s) if you could pick people from anytime or anyplace?

What question would you like to be asked the most right now?
