If we're defining "a creative'' as being an artist of some form or fashion, I'd say most definitely. My mom's an artist, so I think that opened up a lot of doors for me to navigate the world creatively. I've done my share of exploring a few different creative practices throughout the years, from writing to music-making, drawing, and painting. Photography was definitely a curveball.
