Ross Boone
(artist name: Raw Spoon).
​
I battled doubt even as I built up thriving careers in product design, illustration and writing.
​
Now I use art (images and words) and apps to share my creative answers with others who struggle too.
I choose to live a monk-like lifestyle (see video below) so I can focus on hearing from God, and sharing what I hear in compelling ways. I purposely don't own a house or many material things, and I trim out activities that take away from my mission, so I can churn through the hardest questions of our faith, and master the craft of art, story, and app building to convey these answers to the world.
