DC: You are proud of your heritage, what specific talents did you learn and inherit from your family?

AB: Fearless imagination and creativity

DC: Tell us about this new adventure of embarking as an entrepreneur?

AB: Its been about a decade of being a freelance creative. I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, dating back generations. This was the example I grew up with and looked up to. This has always felt the most familiar and comfortable to me.

DC: Working with your dreams, and then bringing them to life, is a state of the art, how do you do that?

AB: Working on strengthening your imagination & visualizations. Once I see something in my mind’s eye, it’s as if it has already happened. This fuels me like nothing else to bring these things to life. I’ll think of something non stop until it is fully visualized. Sometimes i’ll fall asleep thinking about it and then dream about it all night. Then when I wake up I’m hit with a wave to create it. I grew up seeing my family do this. My grandmother would be dreaming about something until it clicked & then leap up to create it.

DC: How do you keep grounded in such a hectic city?

AB: I’m from LA where being in nature was always my form of grounding. This can be hard to find in the city. I have found a combination of things to help ground myself. Exercise, meditation, acupuncture, therapy and good friends help.

DC: What advice would you give our readers, as far as vibrating in abundance instead of scarcity?

AB: Abundance attracts abundance, nothing can be created in the paralyzing space of scarcity. Visualize the feeling of abundance, voice gratitude for the areas in your life that are already abundant & feel that warm light expand to all areas of your life. The abundance you seek is also seeking you.

DC: You are an amazing artist, share a mantra of yours for us to keep:

AB: Hold on to the images of your dreams and the illusion of your dreams becomes your reality.
