I’ve been making things again.

And it feels undeniably good.

Making art soothes me. I can literally feel my nervous system slowing down, calming, and settling into a natural rhythm as I draw.

I’m so grateful that art does that for me. When I was growing up, that wasn’t always the case.

Take a peek behind the curtain at my first-ever attempts at pixel art. I had fun! I learned a lot! 10/10 recommend.

I stopped inviting my inner critic to my creative practice, and it totally changed my life. Stop letting your inner critic call the shots and get back into the creative flow!

Here’s the thing—creativity isn’t just for artists. It’s for anyone who’s ever solved a problem, rearranged a messy system, or figured out a new way to get things done. You don’t need a paintbrush or a poetry degree to be creative. You just need a little curiosity and permission to play.

If you’ve ever felt like creativity wasn’t “for you,” this post is your official invitation to color outside the lines.

One of the most valuable skills I’ve picked up—both as an artist and as an Executive Assistant—is the ability to read the room.

It’s not exactly magic, though it can feel that way when you’re doing it right. 🪄🎩🐇

I’m writing this from a plane, en route to San Diego—and I can’t express how good it feels not to be using up all my vacation days for this trip.

I feel relaxed.

This kind of autonomy feels like a deep stretch: expansive, comforting, healthy.

That said, if I weren’t intentional about it, working from home (WFH) could start to feel repetitive, dull, even isolating. Like any role, it’s important to stay grounded in the benefits—and to actively shape your experience to make daily life feel good.

Here are a few of my favorite perks of working remotely, along with tips to help you make the most of your WFH lifestyle.

A personal website is more than just a URL—it’s a declaration of presence, a digital home, and a dynamic extension of who you are. If you’ve ever wondered if you need a website, the answer is yes. Here’s why.

Most plants need specific conditions to thrive. Lighting, temperature, humidity—it all has to be just right. And beyond that, they require maintenance: watering, pruning, misting, and rotating. It takes effort and attention.

The same is true for my work as an Executive Assistant (EA). I’m here to tend to your business. I’ll help you identify the conditions your business needs to thrive. I’ll develop a plan to cultivate and sustain those conditions. And together, we’ll help your business blossom. 🌸

I have spent hundreds—probably thousands—of hours working from my couch. While I’m still not against that by any means, I must admit it wasn’t always what was best for me. In just a few months, the physical and mental benefits of having a dedicated workspace have already changed my life.

Today, I wanted to share some photos from the fall of 2020. If you’re into this kind of thing, do yourself a favor and rescue a film camera from the thrift store. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be entertained. 📸🎞️
