Learn how to care for a Princess de Charlemagne Bourbon rose — from pruning and fertilizing to fighting black spot — plus my plans for adding David Austin roses this spring.

How I balance running a creative agency with my husband, avoid burnout, and use analog time to recharge. The real story of hitting a creative wall at the end of 2024 and finding my way back.
What restoring a 1921 Dutch Colonial taught me about building brands — respecting the bones, knowing when to preserve versus update, and working with what's already there instead of forcing something that doesn't fit.

About
I'm a small-town girl with big dreams and dirt under her nails. My husband and I run a full-service digital agency for luxury brands, I design beautiful spaces for content creators, and somehow we're also restoring a 1921 Dutch Colonial — all at the same time.
This is where I share the in-between — the morning light through old windows, the chaos of chickens, the quiet magic of building something beautiful with your own two hands.
