What I’ve Been Building Toward for Years

For years, without realizing it, I’ve been building toward this moment in my career. As a multi-hyphenate creative, I’ve 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 found…

The #1 Question to Ask Before You Add Anything to Your Closet

Let’s talk about the version of you that’s 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?…

The Art of Slow Curation

Let’s talk about slow curation—the 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 as…

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. I’m still in the thick of it—processing, remembering, and realizing just how…

How to Curate Your Style Using Pinterest

I’ve been obsessed with Pinterest for over 14 years and I’ll 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 I’m going to show you how to use it as a visual playground for pulling ~all of the things~ together and crafting your style hub. Here’s how to use Pinterest intentionally to…

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 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨) the decluttering, shedding, and cleaning vibes couldn't be more prevalent.

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 “bad” at creating, well, anything, holds people back from some really great shit.

I Needed This (Maybe You Do Too)

I've been needing a pick me up. A kiss on the forehead. A flow of inspirational bits to remind me how good things are. Today, I'm going to spread what I've been surrounding myself with, which is—maybe cliché but I don't care—inspirational, 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

I don’t want to hear your resolutions…

I’m going to say it, and I’m not sorry: I don’t want to hear your New Year’s resolutions… They’re a scam. We’ve been sold this idea that January 1 is a reset button where we’ll suddenly become these highly disciplined, sparkly new versions of ourselves.
