Why I’m Writing Here
After years of using social media and traditional email tools, I find myself craving something different—something quieter and more intentional.
Most platforms feel noisy, fleeting, or like I am shouting into the void. What I really want is a way to share this lifestyle and design work in a space that encourages reflection, connection, and community. Substack feels like the front porch version of the internet—a place to pause, listen, and engage in meaningful conversation.
This newsletter is my way of stepping off the algorithm-driven treadmill and inviting you to join me in a slower, more soulful rhythm of storytelling and seasonal living.
