7 am – Wake up, walk Fig, Grab a coffee, Get ready, quick protein shake breakfast.
8:30 am – Work begins! Mornings are usually going over details, planning/designing, with Fig sharing his input on my design! I like to get the focused work out of the way in the morning, as afternoons get quite hectic.
