A long winded answer to "What do you do?"
For years, my work lived in scattered folders, ol' dusty archives, and other people’s coffee tables. I’ve always answered “What do you do?” with “um.. all things creative”? (awkward smile) so here’s the proof.
I am a maker of spaces, stories, and visuals: photography, styling, interior design, art direction, brand building, and beyond. Every project is a chapter, every collaboration a new page in a book I’m still writing.
This is the collection. Some of my favorite projects.
A living record of ideas that wanted to be made real.

this is where my resume goes rogue...
“Honestly, I think I’ve been looking for magic my whole life. I still catch myself looking in closets just in case one of them forgets to end and leads me into Narnia. My hands against ivy-covered walls for years, hoping to find that one hidden keyhole to unlock The Secret Garden. I don’t think I’ve ever stopped believing there’s a doorway somewhere that leads to another realm… I’ve just started to realize that maybe it’s not a door at all. Maybe it’s a moment. A feeling. A memory. A state of being“
— Where the Moss Speaks
"There’s a particular kind of girl who didn’t just like dolphins, she was a dolphin girl. You know the type. Maybe you were her. Maybe you sat next to her in elementary school. Her bedroom was a sea of ocean blues. Her Lisa Frank folders were covered in bottlenose smiles. She knew all the dolphin facts before Google made it easy, and she dreamed of one day becoming a marine biologist.I was that girl."
— The Sea Inside Me
"This is why I crave low light, why I always have candles burning (sometimes for the ambiance, sometimes because I forgot I lit them in the first place), why I’m drawn to the sultry, mysterious glow of a lamp tucked into a corner. It’s not just about seeing, it’s about feeling, it’s about connection. Light, like nature, has a way of shaping how we feel, pulling us deeper into a space, making us want to stay."

a dash of whimsy
Milky Moon Sleepovers
Before I was designing interiors, I was designing dreams. Milky Moon Sleepovers was a boutique event company I built by hand ...literally. I sanded wood for tents, learned to sew fabrics into canopies, crafted custom dream-catcher kits, and managed every logistic myself. Transforming ordinary living rooms into wonderlands, I live for that stuff. The best part was the pure joy on each child’s face when they saw their party reveal...it never got old.

More projects...
A few other projects I’ve taken on include designing the Clove & Twine office and creating freelance video and photography work for various clients. If you have something you’d like to build, capture, or bring to life — I’d love to hear it!
I supported Boss Architecture with concept direction for the Clove & Twine office and then led the furnishings and styling. The entire space was sourced, installed, and finished by me.
Role: Editor / Photographer / Producer / Art Director / Stylist / Curator
Location: Tulum, Mexico
Deliverables: Full creative direction, photography, production coordination, styling, and brand storytelling for the 2022 print and digital lookbook
I’ve done a wide mix of freelance photography and some videography on an IYKYK basis. These projects have come through personal referrals...people who knew I could help them capture what mattered.
