Welcome to My Surroundings | A Studio Update | Vol. 1

After years of designing spaces that reflect the layered lives of the people who inhabit them, it only felt right to create a space of my own—a place to share what’s inspiring me, what I’m learning, and what I think is worth investing in. Not just in terms of design, but in life.

This blog is an extension of how I work: part tactile, part intuitive, and always driven by a deep love for meaningful surroundings. It’s where I’ll take you behind the scenes of my studio practice, spotlight rituals and spaces that support the body and mind, and offer my honest take on what’s worth the splurge and what’s just noise.

Here’s what you’ll find so far:

🧱 A Studio Update
A peek into current projects, creative process, and what’s unfolding inside the studio.

🛍️ What I’m Loving Right Now
A curated selection of pieces, materials, and objects I’m currently obsessed with—from vintage treasures to splurge-worthy lighting.

🎧 The Listening Room
The soundtrack behind the scenes—music I can’t stop playing while I work, move, or reset.

💆‍♀️ Wellness Spotlight
Thoughtful places around Austin (and beyond) where I reconnect with my body and nervous system. Think studios, spas, saunas, sound baths.

💬 Field Notes (Coming Soon)
My unfiltered thoughts on design decisions, values-based investing, and the difference between curated and copied. Basically: what I’d tell you over a mezcal marg.

There may be more to come—interviews, playlists, maybe even moodboard therapy sessions. For now, consider this your monthly moment to slow down, breathe deep, and connect to the energy of your own surroundings.

Let’s make this a ritual.
