Cole Crapps

Describe yourself in three words:

Empathetic, enthusiastic, eclectic (also, alliterative)

What was your first impression of Field Group?

My first impression of FG came from afar since I was still living in Texas at the time. But even over Zoom and email, the team’s warmth and generosity were immediately apparent!

Should people shoot straight with you or temper their words? Why?

A former editor told me the perfect number of words should be like a lady’s skirt — long enough to cover what it needs to, but short enough to keep things interesting.

What’s your creative advice?

Trust yourself. Imposter Syndrome is real and you’re likely doing better than you think!

If you were a punctuation mark what would you be? Why?

I’d be an interrobang – first, because I love the word, and second, because I constantly react to the world with a mixture of excitement and bemusement.

What makes you look forward to coming to work?

My Field Group teammates are all so kind, creative, talented, and quirky! Plus, I love working surrounded by plants and occasional four-footed visitors.
