I built this website last year after permanently deleting my Instagram. Years of photos, videos, memories, and connections from high school, college, and my career etc. — gone. It was one of many things I was intentionally shedding at the time, for reasons I'll share another day.

I wanted a place that belonged entirely to me. No algorithm. No borrowed formatting. Just my name, my work, and the freedom to build it slowly. The poetry page came first, after I finally decided I was ready to be wholly vulnerable in ways I never thought I was allowed access to.

The career page followed because I couldn't let a résumé or LinkedIn profile be the only way someone came to know my journey. Later came an About page and a Studio page, both left locked. Not because I didn't know what I wanted to say, but because I didn't have what I wanted to show.

The vision for this page has always been to share what I can create in the world of events, experiences, and brand partnerships—work that is entirely my own. I just hadn't had the project yet.

July 22, 2026, changed that.

I had the privilege of solo producing POV Labs, a creator workshop for POV Beauty—a project that represented everything I have always aimed to represent ~ building experiences that bring people together for the heart.

This isn't the full case study. That will come after a little more sleep and a much prettier page with a fuller story, but I couldn't leave this section locked while standing in this moment.

We (she, me, her — I) have been open. Just hadn’t been defined out loud.

And I know people say you can't wait for the right opportunity to find you. But while I was waiting to find the right moment —

I'm deeply grateful to say this one found me, & it arrived exactly when I was ready to meet it.

To Prin, Manouska, and the entire Point of View Beauty team—thank you for having me.
