Colors associated with February tend to be pigeonholed into Valentine’s Day vibes. And you know what? I love these colors and cheesy Valentine’s Day shit. Not sorry!

Different times and seasons of the year bring their own challenges. I’ve found January to be a mixed bag; it’s a fresh start, yes, but it also means returning to regular work routines, *sigh* (December is so generous with days off 😅). It’s prime time for…

This concept is something that I keep coming back to in a lot of different ways: the way you present something affects its perceived value. The presentation of ideas, objects, products, personalities, services, and so on, can significantly impact how they are perceived and thus can be guided to specific results…

I have this distinct memory sitting in the back of my mom’s periwinkle minivan as a kid, probably around 10 years old, deeply pondering why colors look better with some more than others. Over time…

You know those moments where you’re exposed to something and you instantly know that’s going to stick with you for the long haul? It doesn’t happen all that much to my ADHD ass but when it does, it’s etched in there real deep…

I’ve found myself saying “everything is f*cked” more progressively as I experience the ever-revealing reality of adulthood. From “small peanuts” like real estate BS as a first-time homeowner to the atrocities of men’s wars. Exploitative billionaires and lying politicians. Abusers and mass shooters. Patriarchal institutions and genocide. It’s all too much…

Many industries took a huge hit as a result of Covid and the live music industry was no different. I wouldn’t say I was an avid festival attendee but I did enjoy my fair share of waiting in lines, standing in the heat, and experiencing the big payoff of seeing some iconic artists perform in-the-flesh…

You know the feeling of the moment right BEFORE you do something big? Like, you’re standing at the edge of the 7.5 meter diving platform getting ready to jump for the first time. Or you’re reaching for the doorknob as you walk in to the first day of a new job. Maybe you’re attending a fancy dinner party and everyone’s eyes will be on you when you walk in 👀…

I just got back from a work-cation in Florida this past week. My colleague Erin Brown and I are working on an exciting collaboration offer and did some content creation and planning while enjoying that southern sunshine…

As a studio major in college, taking art history was an obvious requirement. I’m not sure how many history or studio classes I took, let alone the endless information about artists, specific works, art periods, etc. we were expected to learn…

Earlier in May, my younger sister Kenzie and I went on a trip to Scotland…We dreamed, schemed, and planned shit down to every last detail we could think of. The trip kicked off by picking up the car rental. Now, let me remind you that…

I had a spiritual awakening after the passing of my stepdad, Stan, when I was a junior in high school. Cracking open thoughts and questions that I hadn’t visited before nudged me in a direction that I now know I was meant to find…

This checklist is for the baddies launching a new business, dipping their toes in the side hustle game, wanting to add some visuals to hard work, or curious about what all should be considered with a basic brand design toolbox…

We’re starting to get more color and warmth these early days of spring and I’m feelin’ as fresh as those Eastern cherry blossoms. Winter and I have a rocky relationship and I’m ready to say “ta ta for now, you cold betch.” These past several months, I’ve been doing a whole ‘lotta internal work around:…

I feel like we should treat our Saturn returns like a golden birthday. 🪐 “Saturn return” is when the planet returns to the exact placement/house it was when you were born. It happens every 27-29 years. So, like, monumental…

Most of our days are filled with proving ourselves capable of our responsibilities. Using our knowledge of work duties, daily chores, social relationships, hygiene, childcare, class materials, etc. keep our lives moving smoothly. We know what we know and we seek…

I’ve always known that I would have a life lead by creativity. It’s in my DNA. As a kid, I would thrive when it came to self expression via art class/creative activities. I even tried it with my personal style, but I went to a Catholic school until I was 14. Wearing black and white knee-high socks with bright red hearts at the top warranted a call-out-of-class visit by the principal—dress code violation *eye roll…

I was listening to “Be Alive,” Beyoncé’s song in association with the King Richard film. It was during what I call my “witching hour” and I was doing my nightly stretches (about 11:30 pm). My feet were perched up on the wall, I had my hands out to my sides, and my eyes were shut. The volume was up probably a little higher than it should’ve been…

We’ve all experienced it, utter disappointment. When you have your hopes up thinking the potential of whatever it may be is astronomical. It can change your life and/or those who are lucky enough to be involved. Because in your dreamy mind: it is. It’s possible to shoot for the stars and have that shit land on THE MOON…

Earlier this week, the icon herself Iris Apfel turned 100. You may have seen her thick-rimmed smile here or there (no really, she signed to model for IMG Models at age 97) donning bright colors, bold patterns, and chunky jewelry for high fashion brands and her Instagram feed alike…
