Shedding Skin and Finding momentum
Turning Inward, Then Moving Forward
It’s been a minute since I’ve shared a blog post here.
Not because I disappeared — but because I was turning inward. Recalibrating. Asking myself what actually felt right to build next, instead of rushing to create just to keep up.
That pause was intentional.
As I move into this next chapter, the way I share is shifting too. This space is becoming a place where I talk about what I’m making, what I’m learning, and what’s genuinely on my mind — creative experiments, real-life lessons, and the kind of insight you only get by doing the work and living the life.
Sometimes that will look like brand or packaging design.
Sometimes it’ll be art, business, or a story worth telling.
Always honest. Always intentional.
What I’m Working On Now
On the work front, I’m stepping back into client projects with a refreshed focus — leaning more deeply into packaging design and brand design.
I’m officially open for new projects again, and if you happen to know someone looking for thoughtful, standout design, I offer a referral reward as a thank-you for sending them my way.
This season feels less about doing everything, and more about doing the right things well.
The Energy We’re Carrying Forward
Astrologically (and energetically), 2025 — the Year of the Snake — asked us to shed.
To release what wasn’t aligned.
To strip things down, even when it felt uncomfortable.
And 2026 — the Year of the Horse — is about momentum, purpose, and movement. Forward motion in the direction of your truest self.
So no matter how 2025 treated you — whether it stretched you, cracked you open, or completely exhausted you — the energy we’re carrying forward is simple:
Align with what makes you feel alive
Choose fulfillment over force
Build a life (and work) that actually feels like yours
That’s the intention I’m moving with, both personally and creatively.
I’m glad you’re here.
And if you want to stay close to what I’m building, sharing, and exploring — this is where it’ll live.
