Anika Grube | Art Director 

My mom took out a life insurance policy on me because she thinks I’m going to die. But before I get into that, be careful of street food. Always ask the important questions like, “Has this been sitting in your freezer since 2018?” I took my first solo trip to Colombia and became addicted to traveling alone. It's also why my mom’s creating my funeral playlist.
