Hey there, I’m Sophie! I’m a Design editor and photographer. I don’t like to play sports, so naturally, I take pictures of other people playing them instead. I like to draw, hang out with my dog, and play Guitar Hero on the Wii. I enjoy listening to Rex Orange County and the soundtrack of the original Disney film “Let It Shine”.
