An unexpected journey
"Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant..." —Joan Didion
I used to love that quote. Then life decided to prove it.
I’ve had more than one moment where everything shifted without warning. A medical emergency that stopped me in my tracks, and later, a wildfire that quite literally changed the landscape of my life.
When certainty disappears — along with plans or even the places you love — you learn what truly holds you up.
For me, it was this:
I’m still the endlessly curious art kid.
The girl happiest with paint on her hands. The one who thinks in colour and systems at the same time. The one who believes creativity is both refuge and strategy.
I built a career in commercial design. I built businesses. I’ve worked inside corporate structure and inside total uncertainty. And what I’ve learned is that creativity isn’t fragile...it’s adaptable.
Life hands you experiences you don’t expect.
You can resist them, or you can let them shape you.
I choose to stay malleable.
To use my skills where they’re needed.
To make work that is about connection.
I still get unreasonably excited about starting the next new project. I still love good quality papers, new art stuff and finding new ways to tell stories.
Underneath all the pivots and chapters, I’m still rooted in who I was at the beginning.
If it matters to you, let’s make it real.
