Thanks, Instagram, for finally breaking me (into blogging).

Well, here we are!

A heartfelt shoutout to META for its endless glitches, crashes, and unpredictable algorithms. You've finally pushed me to take the plunge: welcome to my blog (and the beginnings of my email marketing journey)!

As a Creative Director/Graphic Designer/Photographer (and, let’s be honest, also Marketer, Project Manager, HR, Accountant, Sales Director... you know, all the hats we wear as small business owners), I know how crucial it is to diversify where we share our content.

And yet, here I am, only now starting. Today’s Instagram meltdown was the sign I needed to stop procrastinating and start typing.

Thank you for being here!

I’m launching this blog with the hope that it becomes a space for intuition-driven posts about design, the life of a designer/artist/entrepreneur, cyclical living, and creative processes. Will it stick to those topics? Who knows—let’s both be surprised!

Now, a bit about me: I’m a total personal development nerd. Over the past few years, I’ve gone deep into self-discovery with tools like astrology, human design, Gene Keys (shoutout to my 41-life-path crew), and numerology (though I’ll admit, I’m still pretty basic with this one).

Why am I telling you this? Well, these tools keep telling me a recurring theme and have taught me one big lesson:

share your experiences.

As a 3/5 Generator (if you know, you know), my life path involves experimenting, learning, and sharing what works—and what really doesn’t.

So, this blog is my experiment: a space to share the raw and real—failures and wins, messy thoughts, profound realizations, and anything else my inner world decides to toss out into cyberspace. Sometimes just getting the words out of my head and onto a page (or screen) helps me process them. And if someone else gets something out of it too, then woohoo—bonus, baby!

That’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks for reading my first post!
