You dream big, but you're not above getting your hands dirty. You're a visual junkie—Instagram, Snapchat, street art, fine art, fashion, film, typography—all of it.

Your talent goes without saying, but you bring it to bear in a manner that is uniquely Swift: low on ego, big on laughs, collaborative, candid, and respectful.
