How do you spark creativity?

I try to take in a lot of varied stimuli in different mediums and points in time. If I see something particularly interesting I'll save it to my desktop or take a picture in the wild. Whenever I need to feel creative quickly, I'll flip through these inspiration folders until something clicks.

What do you think is the main benefit of remote work?

The ability to have your workspace set to your specific sensibilities for maximum output... and also mid-day breaks.
