Finding Beauty in the Process

As both a painter and a designer, I’ve learned that creativity rarely follows a straight line. Whether I’m layering paint on canvas or reimagining a room in my home, I’m always chasing a feeling—something that feels both grounded and alive.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how similar the two practices really are. In both, I start with a mood, a color, a shape. I let instinct lead. I sit with the messiness, the quiet moments, the unexpected turns that make the final piece feel truly mine.

This space will be a place where I share that journey—what I’m working on in the studio, ideas from my home, design details I’m loving, and sources of inspiration that are fueling me along the way.

Thanks for being here. I’m excited to share more soon.
