The Heart Behind the Design

My little shadow

Isla, my Airedale, is rarely more than a few steps away, my constant companion and favorite distraction. She has the sweetest spirit and just enough mischief to keep things interesting, filling my days with laughter and so much love. She’s a gentle reminder not to take life too seriously and to enjoy the moment as it comes.

Midwestern roots with a call for the coast

My roots are in the Midwest, where life feels steady and familiar, but I’ve always been drawn to the coast and the feeling of something just beyond. From a young age, I found myself pulled toward anything creative, always making, imagining, and finding beauty in the smallest details. That same curiosity has stayed with me, shaping both how I see the world and the work I create.

I love to travel, to wander, and to experience new places that shift my perspective and spark inspiration. That balance of grounding and movement finds its way into everything I create.

The everyday

Outside of work, I find so much joy in the simple, everyday rituals. You’ll usually find me with an audiobook playing, fully immersed in a show on the couch, or experimenting in the kitchen with sourdough. I’ve recently fallen in love with baking bread, and there’s something so grounding about the process. When I need a reset, I head out for a run, finding inspiration in the movement and quiet.
