I’ve been asked a few times now why I would add writing to my already overflowing plate. There’s a few different answers I’ve given but it kind of just boils down to…. Because I can. Between my full time job in intellectual property, rebuilding my digital footprint and small business 6 years after walking away,…

My Visual Calling Card
Artists typically have a signature. It’s not necessarily an actual signature but more of a thing that’s identifiable to everyone else. Think Van Goghs swirling brush strokes or Yayoi Kusama’s signature polka dots. Kusama is the reason I got into the creative world and started playing with bold colors. Her art was the first thing I saw that invoked a feeling. I knew immediately I needed to play with colors, and I knew immediately I needed to incorporate her in my home. I’ve followed…
Creative Chaos March Newsletter
March is that month where everything thaws. The weather, the ideas, the creative block you swore would last forever, it’s all thawing this month.

The Glam Tax: A Woman’s Hidden Voice
In both industries I’m in, creative and legal, polish isn’t just optional, it’s practically currency. Behind the perfectly manicured nails and curated outfits lurks the hidden thing all women know. The “Glam Tax”. This isn’t vanity. It’s the systemic expectation that women have always understood. We must invest in our appearance to be taken seriously….
The Unglamourous Side Of Creative Work
When people imagine creative work, a lot of time they often picture the glamourous parts. The polished final products, the big reveal, and the applause. What they don’t see is the exhausting, messy, and often discouraging process that happens behind the scenes. The real story is more about late nights, rewrites, and rejection, and those…
The Messy Middle
Starting a new creative project is magical. It gives me a high nothing else can duplicate. Finally, all the ideas I’ve been cooking up can come to fruition. There’s nothing I love more than prepping and getting everything ready and laid out. Whether it’s picking out the fibers, paint colors, making sure everything that needs…
My Words of the Year: Accomplish, Thrive, Healthy, and Serenity
At the end of every year, I sit with myself, a messy stack of notes from the past years’ works and things I wanted to remember and then I quietly ask what I want my next year to look like. Not in a dramatic reinvention way. It’s more subtle and steady, in a way that…
Why I Don’t Do Resolutions (And Why I Set Intentions Instead)
Resolutions never made sense to me. They always seemed like rules or like you were knowingly setting yourself up for failure. Every January, the world splits into 2 camps. The ones who furiously write down all their resolutions in their freshly bought planner and those who quietly judge them. It’s all about losing weight, writing…
Color Crush Series…..White
White is both everything and nothing all at once. It embodies purity and innocence. It’s the color of snow, moonlight, and fresh linen. The emptiness of the color almost invites you to fill it with other colors. It represents a blank page and a fresh start that encourages growth and transformation. It represents peace and…
I’m Just a Girl: Why I Embrace Pink, Power, and Play
I’m not here to tone it down, I’m here to turn it up. I’m here to claim the sass, the sparkle, and the softness, while reminding the world that being a girl isn’t a phase. It isn’t a weakness or a stereotype either. It’s an art form. One that I’ve cultivated to kick ass. Being…
