» Life Motto

Work hard and be nice to people.

I Love Gallery walls. They work above a sofa, around a television, down a hallway, up a staircase, in the dining room, etc. And being a lover of art myself, it’s a great way to be able to incorporate all the pieces I appreciate into the home in an organized way.

» Surround Yourself with Things That Spark Joy

If you like color and art, paint the walls and hang all the pictures! If you like simplicity and neutrals, edit what you have and create a space that calms you.

» Shopping Secret

When purchasing something online, add it to your cart and then get off the site. More often than not, you will receive an email with a discount code for your purchase.

Great Biz Advice

Accept the talent you have and be proud of it. I did so many things for free and called it a hobby. It wasn’t until I owned the fact that I was talented that I was comfortable taking the leap to turn it into a career. Know your worth.

My Top Workflow Tips

Don’t put it off. Schedule your day according to when you’re at your best. I am basically useless after 9 p.m., so I’ve learned to stop telling myself, “I’ll do it tonight.” And instead I do it first thing.
