Light changes everything — how life looks, how it feels, how much clarity we choose to see (or not see) — light changes everything. And although mine has been dim, covered, and a little burnt out, still, I glow to cast out the darkness. That’s the mission, keep light and hope alive.

If you had the nerve to say 2025/2026 was your year to quite your job/ pour into you / start your own business / make your own art… GET TO IT THEN!! (I’m yelling at you, but I’m reminding me too). There are so many things / projects / events and universes I want to create. It’s a lot, but so am I 😌

one woman, 7 creative pursuits.

Photography 📸
Specifically portraits, editorials & branded marketing material. Let it be extra. I think everything should feel like it belongs in print.

Flower Arranging 🌸
Honestly, it’s just very therapeutic for me to arrange flowers. I like how much persona and peace they add to any given shoot or space.

Creative Direction 🎨
I’m a creative, let me create! Mood boarding, art directing, vision planning, I’m actually incredible at curating the vibe with a photographer’s eye.

Curation ✨
Been secretly hiding my passion for styling and curating spaces. From interior design to gatherings and events, I thoroughly enjoy curating spaces that evoke emotion.

Homemaking 👩🏾‍🌾
Listennnn, let me cook. I’m OCD, I love to clean. Throw me in the garden and let me grow my own food and medicine and share it with the people I love. Then make it aesthetic?! If Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart had a baby... it’s me.

Education 📚
I know too much, it’s about time I share it. From marketing to photography to home economics and everything DIY.

Upcycling 🪑
We buy too much. Upcycle everything. Create something new out of things you already have. It’s sustainable, it’s unique, it gives personality that truly can’t be duplicated and I love that.

Truth be told, I hate the question “What do you do?” as a Creative. But if I were to attempt to give this chapter a title, I would say I am a Creative Curator—I blend photography, creative direction, and design to curate experiences that feel right.
