What Iāve Been Building Toward for Years
For years, without realizing it, Iāve been building toward this moment in my career. As a multi-hyphenate creative, Iāve worn a lot of hats: brand strategist, graphic designer, stylist, photographer, creative director, interior stylist, fine artist, color consultant at Sherwin Williams (my first payroll job!). Up until (relatively) recently, I thought of them as separate roles, different services for different clients. But over and over again, I foundā¦
The #1 Question to Ask Before You Add Anything to Your Closet
Letās talk about the version of you thatās quietly taking shape. The one that moves through the world with a little more confidence, clarity, and ease. This has been on my mind a lot over the last year or so. Who do I want to show up as? What moves would I make if I didn't have any fear? How do I want to feel when I step into a room filled with people?ā¦
The Art of Slow Curation
Letās talk about slow curationāthe gentle, intentional process of building a space that feels like you, over time. Choosing, collecting, layering, and shifting until your home becomes something that grows with you. Just like the clothes you wear, you want your space to feel nice to the touch, be comfortable to move and relax in, and last a long time. As tempting asā¦
HER.
We live in a culture that glorifies youth. We're taught to chase it, fear aging, and overlook our elders (esp. women) who have lived. Really lived. I'm guilty of it. You probably are too. But today, I want to talk about my grandma, Nancy (though, we all called her G). She passed last weekend, just over a week before her 94th birthday. Iām still in the thick of itāprocessing, remembering, and realizing just howā¦
How to Curate Your Style Using Pinterest
Iāve been obsessed with Pinterest for over 14 years and Iāll never not be talking about it lol. I used it as a reference throughout my whole home renovation project, on-site of photoshoots for posing/composition ideas, outfit ideas, etc. So today Iām going to show you how to use it as a visual playground for pulling ~all of the things~ together and crafting your style hub. Hereās how to use Pinterest intentionally toā¦
Curating Art for Your Home
~Good~ artwork does a looooot of legwork for interior styling. Now, having art in your home that has character doesn't require you to have overflowing creativity or a limitless budget. Instead of turning to Target, Amazon, or Hobby Lobby, here are the things I suggest when curating for your home:

Spring Clean It Like You Mean It!
Ah yes, spring cleaning season. Ngl, I love it. And with the astrological madness this month (like both the lunar eclipse and Mercury stationing retrograde on the 14th, and the upcoming partial solar eclipse on the 29th š®āšØš®āšØš®āšØ) the decluttering, shedding, and cleaning vibes couldn't be more prevalent.

Repeat After Me
The collective energy is also goin' through it, so I figured some affirmations would be a solid resource for today. If this is supportive for you, save the email and return to it when you could use a reminder or two (or 25).
So You Want to Be More Creative
Whether you're wanting an outlet to process shit, to use your phone less and hands more, or to try something new, creating is a great way to achieve any and all of those things. Remember: creativity isn't reserved for those who are ~inherently artistic.~ Read that again. It doesn't ask for perfection, it asks for participation. I think the fear of being ābadā at creating, well, anything, holds people back from some really great shit.

Today, I'm going to spread what I've been surrounding myself with, which isāmaybe clichĆ© but I don't careāinspirational, loving, and attentive messages. Some of these were sent to me by dear friends, some I found floating around online, now all curated for you. Take what resonates and leave the rest. <3
